ERIM Processing and Analysis Activities

Abstract

Several activities were conducted over the past year in support of the P-3/SAR system. Recall that the P-3/SAR is a three-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) which was developed at the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) and is housed in a Naval Air Development Center (NADC) P-3 aircraft. These activities include: quick-look optical and digital processing, near-term digital analysis, processor upgrades for non-conventional SAR modes, and deployment of a calibration array. Each of these activities were in support of a classified data collection experiment conducted in May/June 1990 by the P- 3/SAR and are described below. In addition to the activities listed above, ERIM scientists also played a key role in both the design and execution of last year's test. Finally, this contract has supported the participation of an ERIM scientist on a advisory panel established by the Navy. These activities will also be described below in the document.
