Abstract

This article discusses the importance of radar systems and processing methods for space situational awareness (SSA). It highlights the vulnerability of the space environment due to the increasing number of satellites and space debris, as well as the growing threat of attacks. Radar sensors are particularly useful for SSA because they can detect small debris over long ranges and accurately track objects. The article presents various topics related to radar systems for SSA, including ground-based and space-based radar, multistatic radar networks, and cognitive radar and deep-learning methods. It concludes by providing an overview of the articles included in the special issue. [Extracted from the article]
