  • Abstract
    Sandia National Laboratories has had an ongoing project with New York Air National Guard to develop and deliver X-band crevasse detection imaging radars systems. The radar has successfully collected data and detected crevasses in the Arctic and Antarctica. Recently four radar systems were delivered and transitioned to the Guard. This paper discusses the radar systems and shows results from actual data collections in these regions.
