The paper presents a method of calculation of motion correction parameters for a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) installed on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The UAV on-board system consists of a Radar Sensor, an Antenna System, a SAR Processor and a Navigation System. The main task of the navigati...
