Synthetically-focused surface-penetrating radar for operation from a moving vehicle

This paper reports on a research programme, started recently under DERA sponsorship, on applying synthetic focusing to an oblong horizontal stand-off array, where all the voxels in a vertical slice underneath the centre-line of the array are synthesised electronically, with the third dimension provided by the search vehicle´s forward movement. This should permit a very high search rate for buried mines, in a wide range of ground conditions
