Abstract

The Ingara airborne imaging radar system is a technology demonstrator aimed at evaluating the application of multi-mode radar to broad area land surveillance. An integrated system has been developed that includes an X-Band radar with SAR and MTI modes, real-time signal processing system, air-to-ground data link, automated target detection algorithms and a simple image analysis geographical information system
