Eyes and ears for drones.(Drones: electronics)

From: Armada International | Date: February 1, 2005| Author: Biass, Eric H.; Grant, Peter | Copyright information

There is no doubt that the reconnaissance (recce) drone is becoming an important element in the emerging 21st Century concept of network-centric operations. Armada International reviews the range of equipment that such robot aircraft are now carrying aloft.

**********

To some people--notably 'the-man-in-the-street'--such robot aircraft are 'new concepts', but the reality is that recce drones have been around since the 1960s. As technology has provided better ...

ECM versus synthetic aperture radars. (electronic countermeasures) (Electronic Warfare Design Engineers' Handbook)
Journal of Electronic Defense ; ECM VERSUS SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADARS Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) was first introduced as a groundmapping radar because of its ability to resolve very small reflective areas. This was made possible with the use of very narrow effective beamwidths and high resolution in range. The narrow
