SAR/MTI radar operates under all weather conditions, above the cloud cover, through haze and fog, by night, to provide long range imagery all year long. Resolutions down to tens of centimeters are achieved. An other priority of Thales Airborne Systems is also the development of high performance software for analysis and exploitation of imagery acquired by radars as well as by other optical sensors.
