DARPA’s Video Synthetic Aperture Radar (ViSAR) successfully demonstrated a new sensor that can capture real-time video through clouds for engaging moving ground targets from the aircraft
Recent military conflicts have demonstrated the need for close air support from precision attack platforms (e.g., the AC-130 gunship) to support ground forces. These aircraft typically use IR sensors to engage moving ground targets, such as vehicles and dismounts. Under clear conditions, targets can be easily identified and effectively engaged. …
