Abstract

Fine resolution radar imagery of airborne vehicles is useful in the development and maintenance of low observable (LO) aircraft. Such imagery can also characterize the radar signature of non-LO aircraft to aid in noncooperative target identification and recognition (NCTIR). A high performance ground-based inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) has been developed to image airborne targets, including LO aircraft. A unique feature of the ground-to-air imaging radar (GAIR) system is the ability to collect total radar cross section (TRCS) measurement data simultaneously with ISAR image data. The GAIR is a fully calibrated system, fully transportable, and capable of remote operation using mobile generator power.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
