Researchers eye algorithms that recognize moving targets in synthetic aperture radar

摘要

U.S. military researchers are asking two more signal-processing companies to develop algorithms and collection techniques to enable synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors to detect, geolocate, and image moving targets on the ground. Officials of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, have announced a $5.2 million contract to the BAE Systems Electronic Systems segment in San Diego and a $4.1 million contract to the Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah, for the MovingTarget Recognition (MTR) project.
