Start on database and radar equation

+I would like to have this project use the radar equation to determine
+brightness and possible blooming on targets. 
+
+I want the radar equation to be implemented within the shaders.
+
+I want a postgres database (I did install postgresql and set up a database named radar with
+a postgresql user named radar with password radar with full priveleges to database radar.
+
+DATABASE Schema:
+
+1. Type of target (Enumeration AIS, ADS-B, Local (simulator)
+2. ID a. MMID for marine; b. ICAO 24 bit aircraft address; for simulator we can use the same MMID
+   and aircraft address
+3. width (24 bits)
+4. length (24 bits)
+5. Height above water (24 bits)
+6. Material (Enumeration fiberglass, wood, aluminum, steel
+7. Enumeration: need update for size and material, does not need update for size and material
+
+Keep a copy of the data in the shaders. Don't just copy the entire database; when the
+system starts up, there would be nothing in the copy; but as we get targets, either from
+AIS, ADS-B, or simulator, add each target encountered to the copy in the shaders. This means
+that we don't have to copy all of the data into the database. It will grow to a size up to the
+current target count in a simulation session.
+
+The items in the database (to start with) would be the Enumeration, The ID, width, height,
+and material.
+
+Maybe,  if I simulate a modern system, I may want a field to describe the target (passenger, cargo,
+oil, fishing; and maybe specifics for the targets. I know that the coast guard has a lot of
+contextual data on targets that are from external sources. For now, lets now worry about this.
+
+PROPOSAL:
+
+Since ADS-b and AIS may not have material and size data, I would like to propose
+That the initial running of the system upon detecting a target that has no size 
+determinatioin, we use a default size, say, 20 feet long 20 feet wide and fiberglass
+for boats; 50 feet long 10 feet wide fusalage for planes; and set the need update parameter
+to need update.
+
+Add an option (command line option) for system. Command line options would be 'database'
+which would open a graphical panel suitable for updating the postgres database.
+At the begining of the life of this project, almost all targets seen except for those
+from the simulator will need database updating; as life of the system gets older there would
+be fewer targets that need operation.
+
+END OF PROPOSAL
+
+Marine radar equation stuff:
+
+For this purpose, the marine radar will use the X Band (9225 MHZ) and 30 KW power for
+maratime traffic system radar (our a-scope marine and PPI scope marine)
+
+For Marine, horizontal beam width is 0.5 degrees; vertical beam width is 20 degrees. 
+For Marine, the antenna size is 15 feet in length.
+For Marine, the antenna height is 50 feet off surface
+
+Air traffic radar equation stuff:
+ 
+For this purpose, the air traffic control radar at BLI frequency 3 ghz or S Band; 
+power 25 KW
+
+For Air Traffic Control, the beam width is 1.4 degrees for horizontal and 5 degrees for vertical
+For Air Traffic Control, the antenna size is 20 feet wide
+For Air Traffic Control, the antenna is on a tower 50 feet high from the runway. It is not
+mounted on the control tower.
+
+Chain Home radar equation stuff:
+
+For Chain Home, this will be a bit different: (this is AMES type 1)
+
+Frequency is 30 MHZ
+Powwer is 500 KW
+Pulse width is 20 US
+
+TRANSMIT GAIN (Gt)
+Note that the transmit beam is not a beam, but a floodlight.
+Pulse repitation frequency is 25 HZ or 12 HZ as selected by operator
+Use Transmit G from beam width (floodlight) something like
+G = 30000/100 degrees * 40 degrees
+about 8.7 dBI (linear value of 7.5
+
+Note that this is Bistatic; we need both Gt and Gr
+
+RECEIVE GAIN (Gr) is about 4 to 10 (6–10 dBi)
+
+System loss due to transmission line about 8 DB
+
+Target RCS larger RCS due to resonant scattering (I need help; please lookup
+
+Precision Approach Radar Equation Stuff:
+
+Peak power is about 100 kw
+Very high antenna gain
+X Band (3 cm for wavelength) Operation allow higher antenna gain 
+PAR must reliably small aircraft
+High pule repition rate
+Sweep about 20 degrees horizontal and 10 degress vertical
+Short pulse width for range resolution
+Beamwidth is determined by wavelength/antenna size with antenna size of about 5 meters.
+
+GENERAL NOTE FOR EQUATION STUFF
+
+We will need these key variables to be able to be changed via the settings.h file 
+and DESIGN.md and CLAUDE.md
