A brief description of parallel processor design considerations and a complete description of a multi-processor Inmos transputer based system is given. This system can collect continuous wave radar output at 2 Mbytes per second and perform over 2000, 1024 point FFT's per second while simultaneously doing radar target acquisition, target tracking, and aim-point selection.
