Please explain the purpose of operation: |
The objective of the experiment will be to show the added advantages of including SAR capabilities into the current ISR available options. These advantages include day/night all weather high resolution imagery (down to 88cm per pixel), ground moving target detection, man-made object detection, through foliage penetration, IED detection, and updated mapping.
We will circle the TNT experiment area in a plane and image it the first day of flying to get control data. We will create imagery in UHF, L-Band, and X-Band, including several polarization planes of each. This will show the base capability of the system and persistent surveillance.
