Title
Space-Based MTI
Abstract
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an imaging technique that is superior to standard electro-optical imagery in that it can produce actionable intelligence in all weather and both in day and night. Commercial space-based SAR, via micro-satellites, is creating new market opportunities in the fields of emergency response and insurance, journalism, maritime domain awareness, remote monitoring, and supply tracking for financial analysts. Umbra is successfully selling SAR imagery from its constellation today and is rapidly growing. This proposal looks to add new capabilities to Umbra's satellite constellation in the form of 2-ball moving target indication (MTI). A 2-ball formation (where two satellites are in close proximity to one another and conducting coordinated collections) enables Umbra to sell SAR data with MTI data to both commercial and USG customers.
Research Objective
The goal of phase II is to continue the R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the project proposed in Phase II.
