This paper describes the Point Scattering Model (PSM) for radar-image simulation and its digital implement ation. The model applies to radar images of real and hypothesized scenes. Simulated radar images of real scenes produced via the PSM correlate very favorably with actual radar images of the same scenes. The simulation model requires information about the terrain in the form of a "ground truth data base" and radar backscatter data. Simulated radar images are compared with actual radar images of the same terrain. Flowcharts of the digital im plementation of the PSM are given.

A major part of the computing consists of independent parallel tasks and is well adapted to processing on a network of microcomputers. The authors hope that readers of this paper can suggest new configurations of the parallel processing equipment suitable for the rapid and economical execution of programs like those described in the paper.
