There is current need for a lower-cost method of acquiring ultra high range resolution (UHRR) radar signatures for a variety of aircraft. The proposed research will produce a conceptual telescience system design suitable for the remotely-supervised semi-autonomous operation of a portable data collection radar. This radar data collection concept will reduce the costs of acquiring measured signature data by eliminating the ned to bring the aircraft to a stationary measurement radar, by reducing the need for dedicated aircraft assets, and by eliminating the need for on-site radar operator personnel. At the same time, it will enhance the utility of the radar measurement system by allowing remote observers to view the radar data as it is collected and by allowing remote experimenters to use these data in real time. A demonstration plan will be produced which will show how this concept can be demonstrated using an existing data collection radar
