Improved Target Classification Using Continuous Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imaging of Ground Moving Targets Navy SBIR FY2011.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2011.2 Topic No.: N112-090 Topic Title: Improved Target Classification Using Continuous Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imaging of Ground Moving Targets Proposal No.: N112-090-0564 Firm: RDRTec Inc. 3737 Atwell St. Suite 208 Dallas, Texas 75209 Contact: Sidney Theis Phone: (214) 213-5579 Abstract: This effort will develop innovative techniques to provide target classification of ground moving target indication (GMTI) contacts using simultaneous and continuous streaming SAR imagery of moving targets within the scene. Using modified waveforms but the same data that is used for SAR processing, these techniques use GMTI techniques on intermediate SAR image formation processing to detect the moving target. That data is then reprocess to focus and image the moving target for improved target classification. SAR images in which decelerating moving targets are identified is an additional capability to be investigated. Benefits: These techniques will lead to improved tracking and classification of high value targets through the move, stop, move cycle. Return
