Pseudolite Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSAR)
Abstract
FY 2017 new start. PSAR will develop a small form-factor synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to provide all weather intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) from a high altitude (pseudolite) platform. The system will provide high ground resolution, while minimizing size, weight (7 pounds objective) and power (less than 200 watts objective). The capability will be demonstrated on the high altitude long endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial system (UAS), a surrogate pseudolite to be loaned by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (UK MoD). In FY 2017, PSAR designed and fabricated antennas and power amplifiers for two SAR prototypes.
