Categories: Science / Technology / Engineering

ONE PRIMARY APPLICATION of miniSAR will be reconnaissance on small UAVs such as the AAI Corp. Shadow seen in this picture. This class of small UAVs can carry a payload of 50 pounds, which is considerably less than existing small UAVs can carry. The miniSAR will have two primary applications. It will be used for reconnaissance on small UAVs, such as the AAI Corp. Shadow. This class of small UAVs can carry a payload of 50 pounds, which is considerably less than existing small UAVs can carry. Thus, current small UAVs are limited to carrying video or infrared cameras. A 30-pound miniSAR will allow the small UAVs to carry additional sensors that together will provide a very detailed reconnaissance picture.
