IMSAR is revolutionizing radar technology by developing compact, lightweight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems designed for integration with drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Our radars, which are low in size, weight, and power (Low SWaP), enhance electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) and electronic warfare (EW) payloads, delivering sophisticated geospatial intelligence capabilities that are usually found on larger platforms, operational in all weather conditions, both day and night.
IMSAR’s radar suite empowers users to plan missions, gather imagery, and convert radar data into actionable insights through various user-amiable data products, including high-resolution SAR images, Coherent Change Detection (CCD) outputs, and Moving Target Indicator (MTI) streams.

Applications & Capabilities
Maritime Surveillance
our SAR systems empower UAVs to monitor maritime and coastal areas through extensive searches, automatically identifying objects and distinguishing vessels and semi-submersibles from the surrounding sea clutter.
Moving Target Indication (MTI)
by employing multiple receiving antennas along the UAV’s length, MTI radar systems can analyze the Doppler effect of reflected signals, differentiating between moving and stationary objects, and providing real-time tracking of both fast and slow-moving targets.
Coherent Change Detection (CCD)
CCD utilizes images of the same area captured during different UAV flights to assess changes over time, providing critical intelligence that may be overlooked in a single pass.
