📋 Tender Overview
Distributed Radar Interferometry And Tomography Using Clusters Of Smallsats
Clusters Of Smallsats For Frequent, Three-Dimensional Radar Imaging Of Our Planetearth Science Is Leveraging Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radars To Generate Precise 3D Models And High-Resolution Tomograms Of Vegetation, Ice, And Dry Soil From Multi-Angle Images. Funded By The European Research Council, The Dritucs Project Will Advance The Use Of This Technology For Earth Applications. Instead Of Using Conventional Satellites That Acquire Images Sequentially, Dritucs Proposes Distributed Sensor Concepts Using Clusters Of Smallsats To Capture All Data In A Single Pass. Dritucs Activities Will Lay The Foundations For Distributed Multi-Baseline Interferometry, Distributed Tomography, And Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Tomography. Theoretical Models And Signal Processing Algorithms Will Be Supplemented By Drone Demonstrations. Dritucs Represents A Significant Leap For Radar Remote Sensing, With Potential Societal Benefits And A Boost To European Capabilities In The Emerging Newspace Sector.
