An investigation was undertaken to develop and determine the practicality of small aircraft radar enhancement devices. This report discusses the detection capability of present radars as well as an analysis and evaluation of passive radar enhancement devices and active radar enhancement devices. The report concludes that passive enhancement devices are not practical and that active enhancement devices are too costly when compared to the existing Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) transponders.
