The data include M48 tank, APC, and M60-A2 tank recorded using four TV FOV's. Additional video recorded target drive- around past trees and shadows. Video tapes have annotations of turntable az-el positions and sun angle relative to the target.
Captive carry includes range data.
The different concepts are different combination available SLMs and lens designs which are completed. The concept overcomes the size and power consumption limitations of electronic approaches by using compact, rugged, and low-power analog optical signal processing techniques for the most computationally taxing portions of the SAR imaging problem. Flexibility and performance are maintained by the use of digital electronics for the critical low-complexity filter generation and output image processing functions. Performance advantages achieved through use of Acousto-Optic technology include a wide instantaneous RF bandwidth, multiple simultaneous signal capture, and accurate AOA measurement over a quadrant field of view. As the receiver bandwidths increase, some portions of the RF spectrum will begin to have a probability of signal overlap approaching unity.
