Research abstract

Manned and unmanned platforms lack the tools necessary to respond to Collision/Obstacle/Brown-Out with Sense and Avoidance (COBOSA). A low Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) radar with centimeter accuracy would provide a solution without impeding aircraft capability, and IMSAR has a strong history of providing similar radar solutions quickly and effectively. A radar with multiple modes will facilitate multiple uses and satisfy more mission requirements. Over the last four years IMSAR has demonstrated DVE and SAA functionality in several scenarios with multiple radar systems. IMSAR proposes leveraging existing proven hardware low SWAP multi-mode radar solutions and integrating them with an Electronically Scanned Array (ESA) that will provide a COBOSA solution for manned and unmanned aircraft. IMSAR sees this as an opportunity to take its existing radar technology and use it to solve systemic COBOSA related problems for military and civilian aircraft. IMSAR has the experience necessary to develop a radar capable of meeting the requirements of a COBOSA system. This is evident in a strong history of successful DoD and industry contracts as well as its family of multi-mode, all-weather, day-and-night radar systems.
