RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (June, 2006) - Signal Innovations Group, Inc. (SIG) has recently been awarded Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1, entitled Signal Processing and Exploitation for High-Dimensional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). SIG’s primary research objective is to address the limitations of conventional 2-dimensional SAR imaging by investigating a new class of 3-dimensional imaging techniques that exploit the non-planar relative rotation between a target and a radar system. The development of this new technique will allow a more realistic investigation of a range of targets of interest to the Air Force. The research will be developed in concert with General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems.
SIG’s SBIR award is for a period of performance of nine months with an approximate value of $100,000.
