Boeing Flight-Tests 2-Pound Imaging Radar Aboard ScanEagle Unmanned Aircraft
ST. LOUIS, March 18, 2008 -- NanoSAR, the world's smallest synthetic aperture radar, is shown aboard a ScanEagle unmanned aircraft (UA). The 2-pound radar, approximately the size of a shoebox, was successfully flight-tested by Boeing aboard ScanEagle on Jan. 7. Data collection onboard ScanEagle worked as planned, and SAR imagery was later created on the ground. The next step in flight testing will be to create imagery aboard the UA in real time.
