- The paper introduces a new model for the radar cross section of ships in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery which was instrumental in the development of new ship detection strategies in maritime surveillance with significant performance improvement in terms of lower false alarm rate. The GLRT ship detector later developed, and based on the model described in this paper, attracted funding from Airbus for a total of £98,791, a further PhD studentship from Algerian Space Agency for a total of £100k, and a collaboration agreement with Fujitsu Services Ltd on the use of satellite data for defence and security.
