Towards the integration of militars and civilian radar signals of the, in support of the defense and security of ecuadorian airspace

Abstract:

The topography of the Ecuador presents areas without coverage called blind, in which the primary radars of the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE) do not have coverage; making the surveillance in these areas, causing an increase of illegal flights aimed at drug trafficking. Therefore, it is required to supplement the information with the signals of the civil radars in these areas; specifically the data provided by the Secondary Serveillance Radar (SSR), whose identification and monitoring of specific targets is done thanks to computers named transponders. This work presents a pilot system that integrates the signal from the radar of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) with military radar, allowing to extend and complement the coverage of the Air Defense and Command and Control Center (CMC) of the Air Operations Command and Defense (COAD) of the FAE.
