Synthetic Aperture Radar/Motion Target Indicator (SAR/MTI)

Abstract

The UAS Payloads program will develop and integrate a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with Motion Target Indicator (MTI) for Marine Corps small tactical UASs. This capability fills current capability gaps for the Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission and will allow Marine Corps ISR assets to locate and track ground targets that cannot effectively be located or tracked with the current ground based sensor technology. The ability to locate and track moving ground targets from small tactical UAVs is an essential capability for force protection and counter-IED missions. The SAR/MTI payload will leverage payloads previously developed by other Services and/or DoD laboratories to reduce cost and minimize schedule. This project continues efforts started in project 2298
