1. A method for use in operating a radar system that is capable of performing a plurality of different types of radar missions, comprising:
- determining, by one or more digital processors of the radar system, a mission type to be performed by the radar system;
retrieving, by the one or more digital processors, a configuration file from a configuration database that is associated with the identified mission type, the configuration database including configuration files associated with a plurality of different mission types; and
using, by the one or more digital processors, configuration information from the retrieved configuration file to configure reconfigurable radar control software associated with the radar system to perform a mission having the identified mission type.

Abstract
A radar system is provided that uses configurable radar control software. The radar system may continually adapt over time to perform different types of radar mission by re-configuring the radar control software with mission specific configuration data. A configuration database may be provided to store the configuration data for retrieval during mission transition operations.

6. A radar system that is capable of performing a plurality of different types of missions, comprising:
-
one or more digital processors to execute radar control software to control one or more functions of the radar system, the radar control software being configurable to perform different types of radar missions for the radar system; and a database storing configuration data for use in configuring the radar control software the database having different configuration files that are associated with different radar mission types; wherein the one or more digital processors are configured to retrieve configuration data from the database based, at least in part, on a type of radar mission to be performed by the radar system and to adapt one or more modules or functions of the radar control software using the configuration data retrieved from the database. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An article comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium or media having the following stored thereon:
-
configurable radar control software to control operation of an associated radar system when executed by a computer system of the radar system, the configurable radar control software having a plurality of modules or functions for performing basic radar tasks that can be adapted to different types of radar missions using configuration data; and computer instructions that, when executed by the computer system of the radar system, operate to;
determine a type of mission to be performed by the radar system, retrieve configuration data from a database based on the type of mission, and adapt at least one of the plurality of modules or functions of the configurable radar control software using the retrieved configuration data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
