We consider the problem of identifying an airborne target from radar data.
As the target moves, it rotates slightly with respect to the radar
antenna, thus presenting slightly different views. Mathematical models
for the scattered field and the radar data involve oscillatory integrals,
which can be studied with the techniques of microlocal analysis.
The talk discusses my joint work with Brett Borden on a microlocal
approach to target identification.
