Abstract :
This paper shows the summary of the development of a new small airborne SAR based on Pi-SAR2. In spite of the high performance similar to Pi-SAR2, its size will be approximately 20 % of Pi-SAR2 and it can be operated on light aircrafts. The current status of the development is the second year of 3 years of development term, which is the critical design and the prototype manufacturing phase.
