The aims of Ingara are to evaluate airborne multimode radar technology, such as synthetic aperture radar and moving target indicator, for the Australian Defence Forces and to provide the scientific and remote sensing community access to an in-country imaging radar sensor for assessment. The Ingara system first flew in March 1993 and in June 1993 was commissioned in its base form. It currently undergoing further development and evaluation until the end of 1995
