Abstract
SRI International has designed and fielded ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radar systems on a wide variety of platforms and for a large number of applications since the early 1970s. Early work included archaeological exploration in Egypt, rain forest terrain surveys in Indonesia, and a helicopter survey of the Alaska pipeline. These early projects typically involved downward-looking line profiles, but more recently SRI began to develop synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems for both foliage- and ground-penetration applications. The current hardware is known as FOLPEN II (second generation FOLiage PENetration).
