Abstract. This review article outlines the operational requirement for Battlefield Surveillance
Radar, and the design challenges that result. It is shown
that the clutter problem on the battlefield leads to a
Pulse Doppler solution. Design requirements are outlined and a typical
current design is addressed. Possible future developments are discussed, and
it is argued that future developments will be driven by
the need for covert operation, with a drive towards active
phased array antennas and LPI waveforms. In both cases, this
takes advantage of expected advances in technology, and will lead
to a more effective battlefield radar equipment.
