Classified Applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

Join the AOC Susquehanna Chapter for a lunch and learn on the fundamentals and classified applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).  SAR is a type of active data collection where a sensor produces its own energy and then records the amount of that energy reflected back after interacting with the Earth. While optical imagery is similar to interpreting a photograph, SAR data require a different way of thinking in that the signal is instead responsive to surface characteristics like structure and moisture.  What makes this “synthetic” is the fact that the spatial resolution of radar data is directly related to the ratio of the sensor wavelength to the length of the sensor’s antenna.  Find out more about the fundamentals and some current use cases in DoD applications with us on 20 Feb. 2024.

Presenter: Troy Stevens, SRI  (BIO coming soon)
