The authors describe a high-speed systolic-based computer system designed to process real-life radar data in near real time. At the heart of the system is a ten-cell Warp (systolic) machine. A digital recorder is used to input data to the system, and a color monitor displays the output of the processing algorithms. The system permits the processing of large volumes of radar data in real time, displays the results of advanced signal-processing algorithms, and has the effect of bringing a radar environment inside the laboratory for experimental studies or, equivalently, taking a sophisticated computer outside into an operational radar environment. The authors briefly describe research efforts built around this facility and highlight the elements of the powerful signal processing neural network software that are basic to their execution.>
