Maritime Use of Satelliteborne SAR WEAG Euclid CEPA 9, RTP 9.1, WP 23000, FinalReport (RTP9.1/96/NDRE/23000/FR) (Maritime Anvendelser av Satellittbasert SAR)

摘要

The report deals with five topics: The ship and ship wake imaging capability ofthe radar satellite ERS-1 is evaluated; Different ship wake simulation models are reviewed with respect to SAR imaging of ship wakes; Some typical naval operation scenarios are studied to obtain detection rates of various SAR modes; Ship and wake visibility at different incidence angles, resolutions and frequencies is estimated; and The usefulness of SAR for military oceanography is assessed.
