Main applications

X- and P-band surveys for mapping (ORI-X, ORI-P, DTM and DSM), imaging, and monitoring (change detection). Examples: - Cartographic mapping up to scale 1:5000 - Deforestation monitoring - Water reservoir monitoring - Detection and monitoring of flooded areas. - Forest biomass/carbon stock/volume estimation - Oil/gas pipeline monitoring - Differential interferometry for detecting and quantifying slow ground movements and geo-hazards such as erosion.

Training facilities

Yes

Distinguishable features:

Radars survey the landscape even at night and with cloud cover. P-band penetrates foliage and can survey the terrain below forest canopies, while X-band surveys the landscape surface. First compact radar remote sensing system suitable to be installed in aircrafts with hatches already certified for aerophotogrammetry and/or Lidar. Capable of acquiring bilateral data, which makes data acquisition more efficient. Radar power can be amplified to allow higher flight acquisition altitudes and larger swaths
