Detection of Dismounts using Synthetic Aperture Radar

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to detect people, or dismounts, using synthetic aperture radar (SAR). This approach is compared qualitatively with ground moving target indication (GMTI) radar and then quantitative results are presented using a P-band single phase center SAR. It is demonstrated that SAR provides an excellent methodology to detect dismounts.
