The paper presents a new, innovative and cost-effective method developed to test radar systems for air space surveillance. It allows the simultaneous testing of several radar sensors all of which are connected to a communication PC. The data provided by each sensor such as range, azimuth, height, are furnished with highly accurate time information and transmitted to a central evaluation post via a serial data connection. Meteorological data are measured at fixed time intervals at ground level close to the respective radar sensor and fed into the overall data flow. When a measurement campaign is conducted, a target aircraft equipped with a DGPS receiver stores the DGPS data received during the flight such as position and time. Standardized flight profiles cover the area measured by the various radar sensors. The data recorded are then incorporated through a correlative process to the DGPS data measured by the target aircraft. As a next step, the normalised an automated evaluation process examines the relevant functional features and performance of the radar sensor.
