Years ago, this very subject was an interview question at a national lab (at an undergrad level). The question was roughly:

> the ends of windmill blades look a lot like a jet on radar. If you were assigned to this project, what would your approach be to avoiding false positives?

This was in 2011/2012. I find it difficult to believe the problem is not solved.

Realistically, isn't it a known presence on radar? It's static - you can't just ignore signals from that area in space?

It has been solved. Get rid of all the windmills. Easy.
