The ASI P-Band Helicopter-Borne Integrated Sounder-Sar System: Preliminary Results of The 2018 Morocco Desert Campaign

The Italian Space Agency (ASI) has recently entrusted CO.RI.S.T.A. with the development of a radar system that can be mounted onboard small airplanes or helicopters and may operate, at different frequencies belonging to the P-Band, either as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) or as Sounder. In this work...

Summary:The Italian Space Agency (ASI) has recently entrusted CO.RI.S.T.A. with the development of a radar system that can be mounted onboard small airplanes or helicopters and may operate, at different frequencies belonging to the P-Band, either as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) or as Sounder. In this work, we present preliminary results of the helicopter-borne desert campaign carried out with this system in 2018 over the Erfoud area, Morocco, in the frame of a project that has involved different public Italian Research Institutes and Universities.
