Abstract
We present a quantum enabled networked radar system that incorporates an optical atomic clock to provide the radar systems with both an ultra-low noise oscillator and time synchronization. Characterization of the photonic microwave generator against traditional oscillators currently used in the radar systems is presented. Near-future developments of the radar network are discussed.
