Target classification is sometimes desired together with airspace surveillance. To some extent this is possible by observing the flight track resulting from typical radar plots. A possibility for measuring the lateral variation of the radar cross section for single targets is described in the following. This method assumes a straight unaccelerated flight path, at least for a few seconds, with tangential components. This restriction is mitigated by prevailing straight flight paths and by observation of targets with radar nets, so there is always a tangential component. This method is especially suitable for electronic steerable radar application.
