Abstract
This paper summarizes the key enabling technologies developed during a three-year effort to design and demonstrate the advanced performance of a multi-function self-aligned gate (MSAG) MMIC-based MAE-UAV active array antenna. The antenna system was developed as prototype for future SATCOM and SAR antennas to be used aboard unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAV). This effort culminated in 1998 with a highly successful field demonstration at the CIRPAS facility (Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted Aircraft studies) in Marina, California
