This paper reviews the concept of a forward-scatter radar (FSR) which exploits the enhanced bistatic radar cross-section of a target in the forward direction (as opposed to the conventional back-scatter direction). FSR has the potential to reliably detect and track small air-vehicles with high sensitivity. Fundamentals of radar (including monostatic, bistatic, and multistatic) and a brief histo...
