Radar Systems
Bernard Rees is a native of the United Kingdom where he earned an undergraduate degree in EE in 1966 and was with the Marconi Company’s Avionics Division before immigrating to the US in 1970. In the US, he has worked in various engineering companies in the areas of radar engineering, ASW and automatic test systems. He earned a Master’s Degree in Systems Engineering in 1975 from California State University, Northridge, and has pursued further graduate studies at the University of Southern California, specializing in estimation theory.
Mr. Rees has over 40 years of experience in the aerospace industry, of which 35 years
have been in radar development. His radar positions include Director of Advanced
Programs, Technology Service Corporation; Manager of Advanced Technology, ITT Gilfillan
Division; Principal Analyst at Xontech Special Studies Division; Vice-
Bernard Rees has worked mostly in developing concepts and prototypes for advanced
radar systems on land, ship, UAV and manned aircraft platforms, including several
active array antenna radars in various RF bands. In the UAV arena, he has been involved
with both airborne and ground based Sense and Avoid (SAA) radar technologies and
SAA operational evaluations. He has worked with many US government agencies and
US companies and several international companies and governments. He has also been
a member government/industry panels and committees on stealth vehicle testing, radar
spectrum management, and low-
Mr. Rees specializes in systems engineering and modeling and simulation of complex
sensor systems. He has developed simulation models for UAV airborne SAA radar evaluations,
and several simulations for ATC primary and secondary radars and multilateration
systems. He developed a deliverable simulation for many-
Mr. Rees has holds three patents in multilateration used for air traffic control.
He was a member, of the AFOTEC Independent B-
