Abstract :
The environments such as inaccessible places in forests and deserts obstruct free access to human beings and call for remote access by electronic means to get the geographical nature. This research project deals with the establishment of a system for remotely sensing and gathering the information. Three locations, which reveal the geography in a better manner is decided first and three portable radars are launched into the spots from air As soon as the radars stabilize their positions they start functioning to scan electronically the environment. Beam sweeping is performed for complete coverage of 360 degrees and the action is repeated continuously to get the PPI information of the surroundings. The target information collected at these radar receivers are transferred to satellite link through distributed wireless sensor network. In the remote ground station the information from three radars are processed to extract information about the static and moving objects in the spotted area.
