Abstract
The South African SAR System (SASAR) is planned to be a fully polarimetric, multifrequency SAR system. Due to budget constraints, only a single VHF sensor is currently under construction. This paper reports the status of the SASAR system, concentrating on the VHF subsystem. Trials of the VHF sensor are planned for the last quarter of 1996 on board a Boeing 707 aircraft of the South African Air Force
