Abstract

Basic functionality and design features of the “COMPACT” family of the small-sized airborne synthetic aperture radarr(SAR) are described. Main technical characteristics of the SAR realisations in the X-, L-, P- and VHF -frequency bands are shown together with features of these application on various types of flying vehicles. Several examples of practical processing and thematic decoding of the radar data are listed that were obtained at the time of real observations in the interests of the various customers.
