Site selection in Sicily

Three phases:

1) Remote observation (satellite and airborne images) and Street-view

photos observation;

2) Field Of View (FOV) drawing;

3) In situ sites observation.






Site requirements:

-At Radar antenna location;-Space for antenna positioning;

-Surrounding area must be free from obstacles;

-Distance from electronics less than 150;

-Distance from the coastline ~ 15m;

-Surveillance;

-At Electronics rack location;-Environment controlled housing for electronic rack and other hardware;

-Single phase - 230V;

-Total power ~ 0.6kW + 0.9 kW for cooling system;

- GPS receiver;

-Network Requirements;-Bandwidth requirements for the real-time transmission of ~ 256KBps (upload speed).






- First phase of site selection through remote observation

A total of 15 sites individuated

From ‘Marina di Ragusa’ to

‘Isola delle Correnti’

- And street-view photos observation

Some sites were excluded because of site inadequacy ->






Second phase: HF approximate radar fields of view drawingSome sites were a priori excluded because of their FOV (Field of View) inadequacy

FOV drawn considering obstacles and operative

HF frequency of ~ 13 Mhz

that corresponds to a covered length of ~ 80 km.






Thirt phase: in situ UNIPA excursion of 18-19 April 2011

All sites were visited even those

excluded within the first and

second pass sites analysis.Sites are located in:

- Marina di Ragusa touristic port;

- Pozzallo port;

- Pozzallo-Isola delle Correnti coastline

First day:

"Pozzallo" to Isola delle Correnti (point 9).

Second day:

Pozzallo to Marina di Ragusa

A

Weakness points:-no space for antenna and electronic rack- it is a private port (hard to get a free concession)- possible obstacles due to the vessel traffic(especially at point A);

Strengths:-Good FOV (especially point A)

We initially identified five sites,

following

only B and F site have been

identified as possible sites.
