Here is more info than you want or, probably, need to know. This is 100% 
directly from the Australian Dept of Defense.


The Department of Defense is at present managing the Jindalee Over-The-Horizon 
Radar Network (JORN) Project, which will install a network of radar 
transmitters and receivers to provide a comprehensive and cost effective 
surveillance of the northern and western approaches of Australia. The ability 
to illuminate and identify a desired target is very much dependent on the 
variable refractive characteristics of the ionospheric layers. Coupled with the 
need to track multiple aircraft and ship targets against unwanted reflections 
from waves and ground objects, this makes the operation of the radar network 
extremely complex.

In order to realise the full potential of the technology embodied within the 
radar system, the Department of Defence is keen to incorporate the experience 
and higher level knowledge of the research scientists of the Defence Science 
and Technology Organisation (DSTO) into the control of JORN.

A team of BHP knowledge engineers worked closely with DSTO scientists and 
software engineers. A software application has been developed to capture and 
disseminate the radar tasking knowledge from the scientists. The application 
has demonstrated that the technology, if successfully deployed, could have a 
major impact on the efficacy of JORN facilities.

This paper outlines the background and the development of the Intelligent Radar 
Tasking Concept Evaluator.
