Philadelphia
Radar
Pioneer
Recognition
Award
(Following
are the remarks delivered by Barry Fell, BAE
SYSTEMS, Advanced
Systems and Technology,
Lansdale
PA, at the 2004 IEEE Radar Conference, held at the 'Wyndham
Franklin Plaza Hotel,
in
Philadelphia PA on Tuesday evening,
27
April 2004)
It's
a pleasure to address you this evening about the presentation of an
award that is
unique to the 2004 IEEE
Radar Conference.
This
is the first year this prestigious
conference is being held in
Philadelphia.
We
are honored to be able to host this
conference and hope that all of you are finding this conference is
meeting your
expectations.
Before
I
make
the presentation
of this special
award,
I
would
like to be certain
that
someone very special gets the recognition he deserves.
The
idea for holding the 2004
IEEE Radar Conference in Philadelphia occurred when John Smith,
Joe
Teti,
and
I
attended
the 2002 IEEE Radar Conference in Long Beach California.
When
we returned
to Philadelphia,
I
got a call from
John.
He
was very
excited about the possibility
of
holding the IEEE Radar Conference in Philadelphia in
2004.
And
here we are.
This
conference was made possible by the hard work of a number of people
that have been
recognized earlier.
But
for any group to be effective it requires a good leader.
I
would
like to formally
recognize John
Smith, for the leadership
and guidance he has given the
organizing committee and all
those individuals
who have contributed
to
making this
conference a success.
The
face of the Radar Industry
has changed drastically over
the
last 60 years.
I
can
only
speak first hand about the US
Radar
Industry
but I am certain the same is true
for
the
United Kingdom,
France,
Germany,
Italy,
Poland,
the
Soviet
Union,
China,
and
Japan.
In
the US,
such
companies as Hughes, Bendix Radio, and Texas Instruments
are now part
of
the Raytheon
Corporation.
Norden
and Westinghouse
are now part
of the Northrop-
Grumman
Corporation.
RCA
and GE have now become
The Lockheed Martin
Company.
Some
operations like the Sperry Radar Division (Sperry Gyroscope)
in Great
Neck
Long Island no longer exist.
Let
us transport ourselves
back
in time to the early 1960s.
A
few
years
earlier,
the
Soviet
Union
had launched the first artificial
satellite that orbited the earth --
Sputnik.
This
was
made possible
by a very powerful rocket
booster that could also
deliver
nuclear
warheads
across
the North Pole to the United States. The United States response to
this potential
problem
was to develop the Ballistic Missile
Early
Warning
System (BMEWS)
with
radar sites in Alaska,
Greenland,
and the United
Kingdom.
The
contractor
responsible
for
this
project
was RCA Missile
and Surface Radar in
Moorestown NJ located about 20
miles from this hotel.
The
BMEWS
system
consisted of two types
of radar.
The
ANIFPS-SO surveillance
radar,
which was the size of a football field (50 m x 120
m),
was
built by the General Electric Heavy Military Division in Syracuse
NY. The Tracking
Radar,
the
ANIFPS-49,
with
its 84 foot dish antenna, was
built by
RCA
Missile
and
Surface
Radar.
For
many
years
the FPS-49
test
site sat
next
to Exit 4
of
the New
Jersey
Turnpike
until
it was replaced in the 1970s by the current AEGIS
System
Land
Based
Page -1-
|
Test
Site (LBTS).
The
LBTS
is
commissioned as
a ship
in the US
Navy.
It
is known as
the
"cruiser
in the cornfield"
or
by its official
name the SS
Rancocas.
Philadelphia
was
an opportune
place
for the advancement
of
Radar
Science
during
the
1960s due
to
RCA,
the
RMEWS
program
and another
name
of
a bygone
era,
the
Philadelphia
Corporation (Phi1co).
In
1960,
three
radar
scientists,
Dave
Barton,
Walter
Weinstock
and Raymond
Berkowitz got together
in
Walt
Weinstock's
basement in
Northeast
Philadelphia
to
develop a summer lecture series that would cover
all
aspects
of
Modem
Radar
Systems
Technology.
They
decided to gather
together
some
of the most
well
known contributors
to Radar Science
and present
a summer course
in
Radar
at the
University
of Pennsylvania.
The
course was
taught over
the
summers
of 1960
and
1961
at
the University
of
Pennsylvania,
Moore
School of Electrical
Engineering,
about
16
blocks
west
of this hotel.
In
1964
the John
Wiley
Publishing
Company
approached
Raymond
Berkowitz,
professor
of Electrical
Engineering
at the University of Pennsylvania,
with
the request
that
the
summer lectures
be made into a book.
This
resulted in the book "Modem
Radar:
Analysis,
Evaluation,
and
System
Design"
which
was published
in
1965.
The
significant
radar
systems
books that
had
been published
previously
were:
•
"Principles
of Radar"
published
in
1944
by
the
Radar
School
at
MIT, edited
by
Francis
Reintjes and Godfrey
Coate
·
The
28
volume
MIT
Radiation
Laboratory
Series,
published
after
world
war II,
edited
by
Louis
Ridenour
and
George
Collins
•
Merrill
Skolnik's,
"Introduction
to Radar
Systems",
published
in
1962,
and
•
David
Barton's,
"Radar
Systems
Analysis",
published
in 1964
(as
a sidenote,
Merrill
Skolnik
participated
in the first
set of radar
lectures
at the
University
of
Pennsylvania
in
1960
but left the group to complete
the
writing
and
publication of "Introduction
to Radar
Systems".
This
is why
he was
not
a
contributor
to
the
writing and publication
of "Modem
Radar")
The
book "Modem
Radar"
represented
the state of the art in
Radar
Science
in the early
1960s.

"Modern
Radar" complemented the books by Skolnik and Barton by covering
some
specialized
topics
in Radar
Systems Engineering more deeply and by presenting alternate
and
unique
approaches
to the basic analysis of Radar
System
Performance.
Today, 59
years
after
its first
publication,
"Modern
Radar"
is still a valuable book for any Radar
Library
Reference
Shelf.
Tonight
we
would
like
to recognize these five Philadelphia
Pioneers
of Radar
Science.
Let
me tell
you
a
little
about each one.
David
K.
Barton
became a fellow of the
IEEE
in
1971
for his
"contributions
to
precision
tracking
radar and
radar
systems engineering".
David
received
his
AB degree in Physics
from Harvard College
in 1949.
He
worked for
the
Army
Signal
Corps at White
Sands
Missile
Range and the
Evans Signal
Laboratory,
which
is now known as Fort
Monmouth
in
Belmar NJ (this is
the site where Edward
H Armstrong
used his experimental
regenerative
receiver to receive transatlantic
radio
signal transmissions for the Marconi
Company
and
in
1946 the US Army
Signal Corps received the first radar returns from the
moon). David worked at
RCA
in Moorestown
New
Jersey from
1955
to 1963 where he
developed
the
ANIUPS-1
Surveillance Radar,
the
ANIFPS-16
precision tracking
radar
(which is
still
the primary precision
tracking radar in use throughout
the world),
and the
ANIFPS-49
BMEWS tracking
radar.
In
1958
he
was the first
recipient of the RCA
David
Sarnoff Award for "outstanding
achievement
in Engineering".
In 1963 he joined the
Raytheon Company in Wayland Massachusetts
as a Staff Engineer.
At
Raytheon

Harry
Urkowitz became a
fellow
of the JEEE
in 1973
for "contributions
to radar
signal
processing and to graduate education".
Harry received his BS
from
Drexel
University in
1948
and his MS
and
PhD
from
the University
of Pennsylvania
in
1954
and 1972
respectively.
Harry began his
career
at
the Philco
Corporation where
he worked from
1948
to 1964. In
1964
he
joined Bernard Steinberg
at General
Atronics
as a Senior
Engineering
Specialist.
In
1970
he joined the staff at
RCA
Missile
and
Surface
Radar
in
Moorestown
New
Jersey
as
a
Principal
Member
of the Engineering
Staff.
Harry
has
written numerous papers
on radar signal processing.
He
developed
the "Urkowitz
filter"
which
is the realizable
matched filter
that
describes
detection of a known signal in
stationary
radar clutter.
Harry
has been teaching Random
Processes
and
Signal
Processing
courses as an
adjunct
professor
in
the Drexel
University
Graduate
School
since
1952.
His
book "Signal
Theory
and Random Processes"
was developed based on
his
course notes.
He
will
be presenting the tutorial
on Detection
Theory
with
Dr
Thomas
F.
Halpin
tomorrow night at this
conference. Harry
maintains
his full
time
status
at
Lockheed
Martin
in Moorestown
New
Jersey
where
he
has
worked
continuously
since
he
joined RCA in 1970. He
was
awarded the
Drexel
University
Distinguished
Alumni
Award
in
1989.
I
would
also
like to note that Harry
did
not
get
his introduction
to
radar
by
reading the textbooks we
have
mentioned earlier
tonight.
His
introduction to radar
was
as an
Airborne
Radar
Observer
during
the 2nd
World
War, where
he rose
to
the rank
of
1
st
lieutenant
in the
US Army
Air
Force.
He
served
in
the
Army
Air
Force
from
1942
to
1945 during
which
he flew
more
than
30 missions
as a
Radar
observer.
For
his
service
to
this nation,
he
was awarded
the Distinguished
Flying
Cross
and
the
Air
Medal
with
3
Oak
Leaf
Clusters.
His
contribution
to
the book Modem
Radar
includes
writing
the
chapter
"Ambiguity
and
Resolution".
Walt
Weinstock
became
a fellow
of the
JEEE in
1978
for
"contributions
to
radar
systems
and
for
leadership
in the development of Modem
Air
Defense
Systems.
Walt
received
his BSEE,
MSEE,
and
PhD
from
the
University
of Pennsylvania
in
1946,
1954
and 1964
respectively.
His
first employer
was the Philco
Corporation
where
he worked
on
Airborne
Radar
from 1946
to 1949.
He
joined the
staff
of
RCA
in
Moorestown
NJ in
1949
where he remains
as a consultant today. Walt
is
the author of a number
of
papers
and is best known for the Weinstock
target model which
is
a
generalization
of the
standard
Swerling
radar target
models.
Walt
has
also made
significant
contributions to
Anti-Air
Warfare
Systems,
Ballistic
Missile
Defense,
Space
Surveillance,
Command
and
Control
Systems,
Radar
Systems
Analysis,
and
Real
Time
Computer
Control
of
Complex
Radar
Systems.
He
has
also
served
on numerous high
level
government
committees
throughout
his career which include:
the
Navy's
Advanced
Surface
Missile
System
Assessment
Group, the
Allen
Committee
on Advanced
Naval
Threat
Systems,
the
Planning
and Steering
Advisory
Group
of the
Commander
of
Naval
Operations
Surface
Ship
Security
Panel,
and
the Department of Defense
Electronic
Warfare
Technical
Study
Committee.
He
is also
a recipient
of
the ReA
David
Sarnoff
Award
for Outstanding
Achievement
in Engineering.
Walt's
contributions to the
book
Modem
Radar
include
being an organizer of the summer lectures,
and writing
3 chapters
of the book:
"Probability
Density
and
Distribution
Functions",
"Radar
Cross-Section
Target
Models",
and
"Illustrative
Problems
in
Radar
Detection
Analysis."

On
a personal note,
I
have had the privilege of working directly with 4 of these 5
individuals. I worked with Harry
Urkowitz and Walt Weinstock
at ReA Missile
and
Surface Radar.
When
Bernard Steinberg asked Harry
Urkowitz
and Raymond Berkowitz
who they would recommend to set up and develop a radar division at
Interspec
Incorporated,
I
received
their
endorsement
and recommendation.
Due
to this
recommendation I worked with Bernard Steinberg
for 8 years at
Interspec.
I
also
had the
chance to work with Ray Berkowitz when he was a consultant for
Interspec and attended
his lectures on detection theory at the University of Pennsylvania.
David
Barton of course had a direct influence on my career in Radar
as I
am
sure he has
touched all of you. His Radar
Systems
Analysis
Book
was one of the first books I
used
in learning radar science. More
recently, David reviewed "Radar
Fundamentals for
Optical
Engineers"
a
chapter
that
I
wrote
for
the
ARTECH
House
book "Photonic
Aspects of Modem Radar".
The
award we present this
evening to these five Philadelphia
Pioneers
of Radar Science
reads: "The
Philadelphia Radar
Pioneer Recognition Award.
The
2004 IEEE Radar
Conference Recognizes
David K.
Barton,
Dr Raymond S.
Berkowitiz,
Dr
Bernard
D.
Steinberg, Dr Harry Urkowitz,
and
Dr Walter
W.
Weinstock
for their participation in
the
Special Summer Session of the Moore
School of Electrical
Engineering held at the
University
of Pennsylvania during
the summers of 1960
and 1961 which resulted in
publication of the book:
'Modem
Radar:
Analysis,
Evaluation,
and
System
Design'
and
for their
significant
contributions
to Radar
Science
during
the
past half
century".
Please
join
me in a round
of
applause in
appreciation
of these 5
individuals
who are
truly
legends in our
time.
Thank
you.
