Miniature SAR sensor ready for protection

Article Abstract:

Prototype demonstrations of MISAR, Germany's EADS Defence Electronics' frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) Ka-band (35 GHz) radar system have proved successful in Germany and the US, which made the tiny airborne sensor move into series production. The development of the prototype was partly funded by the German armed forces, but the final development and production of this all weather UAV sensor, whose potential presence in arenas like Afghanistan and Kosovo is considered vital still remains undecided.

Countering threats with naval electro-optical systems

Article Abstract:

The threat of asymmetrical attacks, which can come from tiny boats, rafts or jet ski-type vehicles, has led to new developments in electro-optical (EO) detection equipment. EO sensors are imaging sensors that are used for observation and identification, to determine the difference between civilians and the threats and also to monitor an engagement in order to know immediately the effect of the weapons employed.
