A Comprehensive Survey of Machine Learning Applied to Radar Signal Processing
Modern radar systems have high requirements in terms of accuracy, robustness
and real-time capability when operating on increasingly complex electromagnetic
environments. Traditional radar signal processing (RSP) methods have shown some
limitations when meeting such requirements, particularly in matters of target
classification. With the rapid development of machine learning (ML), especially
deep learning, radar researchers have started integrating these new methods
when solving RSP-related problems. This paper aims at helping researchers and
practitioners to better understand the application of ML techniques to
RSP-related problems by providing a comprehensive, structured and reasoned
literature overview of ML-based RSP techniques. This work is amply introduced
by providing general elements of ML-based RSP and by stating the motivations
behind them. The main applications of ML-based RSP are then analysed and
structured based on the application field. This paper then concludes with a
series of open questions and proposed research directions, in order to indicate
current gaps and potential future solutions and trends
COMPUTING APPLICATIONS HPC FOR SPACEBORNE MISSIONS HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING SYSTEMS FOR AUTONOMOUS SPACEBORNE MISSIONS
Future-generation space missions across the solar system to the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets may someday incorporate supercomputers both to expand the range of missions being conducted and to significantly reduce their cost. By performing science computation directly on the spacecraft itself, the amount of data required to be downlinked may be reduced by many orders of magnitude, thus greatly reducing the mass of the resources needed for communication while increasing the quality and quantity of the science achieved. By performing the mission planning in real time directly on the spacecraft, complex and highly responsive missions can be conducted out of range of direct human intervention, and the cost of mission management can be reduced. Through highly replicated computing structures, continued operatio
