Abstract :
The INGARA Australian Airborne Radar Surveillance System, formerly called AuSAR, is a low cost airborne imaging radar technology demonstrator under development at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation in Adelaide, Australia. The aims of INGARA are to provide the Australian Defence Forces with a flexible radar system to assess airborne multimode radar technology such as synthetic aperture radar and moving target indicator, to develop in-country expertise in this field, and to provide the scientific and remote sensing community access to an in-country imaging radar sensor for evaluation. The paper describes the real time SAR processor for the INGARA system
