EM Scatter Modeling in Support of Space Sensing

Abstract

The primary long-term goal of this research is to provide the Navy with accurate, rapid, and versatile methods to apply to the understanding and subsequent exploitation of electromagnetically derived remote sensing data. Auxiliary goals are to (1) use the methods to develop a fundamental understanding of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and natural rough surfaces, (2) demonstrate how these methods can also be applied to the development of new remote sensing concepts and sensor design, and (3) investigate the applications of these results to U.S. Navy needs.
