Synthetic aperture radar: pictures from radio waves

Article Abstract:

Synthetic aperture radars (SAR) are capable of providing high-resolution images for intelligence, complement or replace infrared or television systems for targeting use and be installed on aircraft as small as drones. Inverse SAR uses Doppler shift and the fact that the shift will be different from one end of the target to another to create a high-resolution image. Interferometric SAR acquires three-dimensional measurements using two antennas or slightly offset passes of an aircraft with a single antenna. Using stored three-dimensional models, articulated or partially hidden targets can be identified by Moving and Stationary Target Acquisition and Recognition systems. Foliage Penetration SAR is designed to detect targets hidden by foliage and camouflage.

Heavies

Article Abstract:

Heavy-duty military trucks, which forms the backbone of military logistics, are those that are capable of hauling more than seven tons of cargo. Some of the popular models include the Actros line from Mercedes- Benz, the 18 M 28/4 and 26 M 42 P40 from Steyr, the M4866S from Western Star, the T816 from Tatras, Sisu trucks from Finland, the TRM 10 000 and Kerax from Renault, the '2000' family of trucks from MAN and the 260.35 WM and M 320 E 42W from Iveco.
