Radar is a key sensing technology for the defence of Australia. It is also used in several civilian applications. Recent advances in engineering and science have led to significantly increased inherent capabilities for radar hardware. Nonetheless, radars in service and planned are unable to counter many current threats. To a large extent these new capabilities have yet to be fully exploited, and in large part this is because of the lack of an information theory for radar that corresponds to the highly successful theory of this kind for telecommunications. Our work, though pitched at fundamental ideas in the theory of radar, will lead to the production of improved radar capability that will permit improved threat detection and tracking.

雷达是澳大利亚国防的关键传感技术。它也被用于一些民用应用。最近在工程和科学方面的进展已经导致雷达硬件的固有能力显著增加。尽管如此，现役和计划中的雷达无法应对当前的许多威胁。在很大程度上，这些新的能力尚未得到充分利用，这在很大程度上是因为缺乏一种雷达信息理论，这种理论与电信领域非常成功的理论相对应。我们的工作，虽然在雷达理论的基本思想，将导致生产改进的雷达能力，将允许改进的威胁探测和跟踪。
