MARK Resources, Inc. was founded in 1974 by several experienced engineers who wanted to establish a creative work environment for advancing the state-of-the-art in radar systems technology. Today, MARK Resources is a small business with a worldwide reputation for excellence in radar-related engineering R&D. The company has built up a team of productive professionals with unique qualifications and an exceptional record of achievement in three principal technical areas: radar signal processing, radar simulation, and radar systems.
Radar Signal Processing
MARK Resources developed the concept of Sliding-Window Doppler processing (now known under various designations) that led to major advances in the measurement capabilities of existing test range instrumentation radars. We also developed Complex-Image Analysis, an advanced signal processing technology that makes systematic use of the image phase without the need for mathematical target models. This technology has been applied to real data from space, air, ground, and sea targets, leading to significant advances in detection and identification performance.
Radar Simulation
MARK Resources has developed a versatile set of computer models for analyzing virtually every radar and environmental phenomenon at the signal level, including nonlinear and adaptive receivers, fluctuating and glinting targets, multipath, electronic countermeasures, and distributed homogeneous and nonhomogeneous clutter of all types. We are a leader in the development of high-fidelity signal generation systems that are used to perform cost-effective testing and validation of radar system performance in the laboratory.
Radar Systems
MARK Resources applies systematic procedures to define performance and cost tradeoffs in the design of high-performance radars. Our experience covers the entire spectrum of radar applications, including ground-based surveillance and track, air-to-air and air-to-surface search, airborne ground mapping and reconnaissance, synthetic aperture imaging, terrrain following, ballistic missile defense, and noncooperative target identification.
