The evaluation of possibility of using the incoherent scattering method for the current estimation of the total electronic content in the radar zone of responsibility

The possible direction of the modification of the non-coherent scattering (HP) method is considered in the article. The modification of this HP method is conditioned by the need to promptly evaluate certain parameters of the propagation environment (in particular, the PES) in order to take into account and compensate for the current state of propagation conditions in order to improve the quality of the trajectory measurements of the radar. The necessity to consider the implementation of this approach is due to some limitations of the method of correcting the propagation model on the basis of GPS/GLONASS information located in the area of the radar station deployed on the radar. The materials of the article discuss the limitations of this method, and also evaluate the possibility of using the radar DOs for the operational measurement of the total electronic content on the basis of a modified method of incoherent scattering. Preliminary results of such assessment are given.
