Abstract

The HUT 93 GHz Airborne Imaging Radiometer (AIR-93) is being modified in an advanced airplane version. The new features include: a) the use of an attitude-dGPS instrument to produce gyro data for radiometer beam active stabilization, b) an improved version of the airborne, liquid nitrogen cooled cold calibration target, and c) the digital, computationally stabilized, position oriented optical comparison image system
