The User-Friendly Platform for Ground-Based Radar Analysis of Debris Environments (UPGRADE) workstation consists of a simulation architecture that has been developed to provide a flexible framework for modeling post-intercept debris and the resultant return signal produced by a radar situated in the vicinity of the debris impact point and illuminating the cloud of debris fragments. Characterization of the debris and radar signal is a complex process requiring models which can be brought together in an integrated visualization package. The UPGRADE architecture consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) which controls a group of MATLAB components used to generate inputs and graphical output products and C language modules which perform the analytic and algorithmic procedures required to generate and process the debris data.
