1. A radar beam sharpening system for processing a radar video stream of echo return intensities, sampled in range and azimuth, comprising:
- a signal processor configured to apply beam sharpening to the radar video steam and to selectively vary the level of beam sharpening applied based on range so as to generate an output range-dependent beam sharpened radar video stream.

Abstract
A radar beam sharpening system for processing a radar video stream of echo return intensities, sampled in range and azimuth. The system uses a signal processor that is configured to apply beam sharpening to the radar video stream and which selectively varies the level of beam sharpening applied as a function of range and/or a land map generated from the radar video stream so as to generate an output selectively beam sharpened radar video stream.
