GPS-Reflectometry for Target Detection
Abstract
This proposal seeks to investigate a novel idea for opportunistic sensing of maritime activity: via bistatic interception of satellite global positioning system signals in reflection mode. GPS-Reflectometry or GPS-R is potentially revolutionary as a means for covert and standoff maritime situational awareness.a) The grantee Deimos Space UK, was created in 2013 to address the UK and UK,-export market for space systems, services and applications. It is located on the Harwell Oxford campus, close to the UK Space Agency, ESA~s ECSAT facility, RAL Space, the Satellite Applications Catapult and several other space companies. The company offers expertise in flight systems, ground segment systems, offers space situational awareness, satellite navigation, applications and services.b) The PI, Dr. Clarizia, has a BEng and MEng degree (summa cum laude) in Telecommunications Engineering, and a PhD in Remote Sensing using GNSS-R for ocean remote sensing. Form April 2013 to March 2017 she was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan, working on the NASA CYGNSS Mission. Therefore, she is very well qualified
