Overview and Capabilities

• All weather, day/night Plan Position Indicator (PPI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
• Drug surveillance and interdiction efforts by forces other than the military are conducted by air
• GTS SAR system will provide enhanced detection and signal processing features

Benefits

• SAR technology optimizes detection techniques developed for strategic military surveillance
• Computer technology advances can be incorporated on a real-time basis
• Existing interface and communications software can be customized for specific applications
• Minimal system development time due to incorporation of current technology and signal processing algorithms
• Technical support documentation embedded into computer/signal processing system
• ISAR, Strip SAR and Spot SAR
• Long range
• Immediate reductions in maintenance and Total Ownership Costs (TOC) versus older, high maintenance systems
• Technology Insertion hardware design philosophy ensures viable hardware upgrades consistent with technology improvements
• Software upgrades can incorporate advances in signal processing techniques without a need for hardware upgrades
• Low cost of a new enhanced system
• Solid state technology provides reduced maintenance costs and reliable and extended operation
