We’re hearing that machine learning is the next big thing in radar – what’s its importance?

“Machine learning is a technology that is very relevant to radar, in terms of not only adding new capability or functionality to a radar, but also in the wider manufacturing environment, or in the design lifecycle to optimise designs and minimise rework.

We are introducing AI into the way we build things in manufacturing, so we can improve the yield – so it’s not just about new features in a radar, it’s about how you go about manufacturing them. And we use that to optimise the selection and the design of the electronic components that go into a radar system. We’re investing a lot of money in machine learning, right across the board.”

In fact Machine Learning/AI in radar is one of the key...
