Advanced SAR Experimentation

Radar is a powerful data collection tool that has not reached the full potential of its unique capabilities. Using radar as a means to provide non-traditional reconnaissance imaging geometries, SDL is breaking new ground in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology applications. Recent advancements include: holographic 3D scene formation, nadir (straight down) imaging, and wind turbine interference mitigation.
