ARTEMIS, Inc. has been supporting radar programs for nearly two decades with development and manufacturing. We create high-performance synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and MTI radar systems that are designed for size, weight, and power (SWaP) limited applications. The SlimSAR line of radars are compact, modular, multi-mode, multi-frequency-band, multi-polarization SARs, flexible in design and operation, with variations and configurations that allow for operation from 1,000 feet up to over 25,000 feet, and frequency bands through block conversion at UHF, L-band, and X-band (and any other desired frequency-band). The SlimSAR is capable of a variety of advanced radar application modes.
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) are executing a joint effort,
DUSTER (Deployable Unmanned System for Targeting, Exploitation, and Reconnaissance), to develop and
test a new tactical sensor system specifically designed for Tier II UAVs. The system is composed of two
coupled near-real-time sensors: EyePod (VNIR/LWIR ball gimbal) and NuSAR (L-band synthetic aperture
radar). EyePod consists of a jitter-stabilized LWIR sensor coupled with a dual focal-length optical system
and a bore-sighted high-resolution VNIR sensor. The dual focal-length design coupled with precision
pointing an step-stare capabilities enable EyePod to conduct wide-area survey and high resolution inspection
missions from a single flight pass. NuSAR is being developed with partners Brigham Young University
(BYU) and Artemis, Inc and consists of a wideband L-band SAR capable of large area survey and embedded
real-time image formation. Both sensors employ standard Ethernet interfaces and provide geo-registered
NITFS output imagery. In the fall of 2007, field tests were conducted with both sensors, results of which will
be presented.
