Research abstract

ASAI's technical capabilities for Passive Sensing for Distributed Radars are enhanced by its integration of proprietary technologies and innovative methodologies. ASAI's technical approach to Passive Sensing for Distributed RadarsĀleverages OmniLens, an advanced adaptation of Luneburg Lens technology, optimized for detecting signals across a broad spectrum of frequencies. This project aims to harness ambient RF energy for the detection and tracking of both hypersonic targets and space debris, offering a stealthy alternative to traditional radar systems. By integrating sophisticated signal processing algorithms with the unique design of the OmniLens, ASAI intends to achieve a higher level of precision and reliability in monitoring non-cooperative space objects. This effort not only enhances the safety of space operations but also contributes to the sustainability of the space environment by improving debris tracking and mitigation strategies. Furthermore, ASAI's proposal underscores the company's capability to develop a distributed radar network that operates without the need for active emissions. This network promises comprehensive coverage and real-time tracking capabilities, essential for responding to the rapidly changing dynamics of space objects. The incorporation of conformal antenna technology further emphasizes the adaptability and efficiency of ASAI's system, allowing for seamless integration into existing space surveillance infrastructures.Ā
