Foliage Penetrating (FOPEN) Radar for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs)
Abstract
This effort matures and demonstrates a FOPEN radar capability to meet the size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements for a Class IV UAS. Advancements in both hardware and exploitation processing software enable increased radar performance to include ground and non-metallic building penetration for detection of hidden roadside target/weapons caches. Two demonstrators with spares are being fabricated and flight assessed, the first completed in FY10 and the second in FY11.
