Onboard System Processes SAR Data
Abstract
Aircraft Flight Correlator (AFC) computing system, mounted with AIRSAR synthetic-aperture-radar (SAR) system, supplements recording and postflight analysis, processing portion of data in real or nearly real time to provide imagery for rapid evaluation. Facilitates diagnosis of SAR equipment or adjustment of parameters of experiment. Operates in two modes: "quick-look" mode, data processed in 10 minutes into high-resolution image; and "real-time" mode, data processed in real time to reduced resolution. Also used as aid to navigation.
