Development of a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

About the Research

The research entails utilizing the candidate's knowledge-base on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and associated algorithms. The Army is interested in developing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mounted radar system to generate sub-terrain image products for explosive hazard detection. The candidate will implement simulations of SAR for various geometries and flight paths. Furthermore, this research will also require RF hardware design of a prototype, which will ultimately be used to verify simulated performance characteristics.
