What is the primary purpose of a Radar SEP?

The primary purpose of a Radar System Engineering Process (SEP) is to evaluate and assess the performance of radar systems and their components. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that the systems meet specified requirements and function effectively in their intended environment.

In the context of radar systems, performance assessment encompasses various aspects including detection capabilities, tracking accuracy, operational reliability, and overall system integration. Engaging in this systematic evaluation allows engineers to identify any deficiencies or areas for improvement, ensuring the radar system performs optimally and fulfills operational demands.

While improving hardware efficiency, enhancing signal transmission quality, or monitoring installation are all important considerations within the broader scope of radar engineering, they are secondary to the fundamental goal of performance assessment. Performance evaluation directly impacts how well these other aspects of radar functionality can be optimized and integrated within the system.
