Abstract
CURACAO is a compact X-band Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) system able to work in SAR and/or GMTI modes. The advantage of a multi-mode compact size radar with low power consumption and lightweight design is the possibility to implement it on small manned or unmanned platforms with limited payloads capability. This allows fast and low cost deployment of the system to areas of interest. We describe in this paper the architecture and design of CURACAO.
