ONERA SAR-Light UAV Platform Latest Developments and SAR Results

ONERA is one of the leading organizations in experimental research on aeronautic topics. Works on Airborne Radar began forty years ago with the first airborne demonstrator named RAMSES. At the end of the aircraft's life (Transall C160), ONERA invested in the miniaturization and transfer of sensors to the SETHI and BUSARD platforms and conduct many and various experiments in remote sensing. New microwave and platform technologies allow ONERA team to continue miniaturization task, and to obtain very low SWaP sensors embedded on-board compact UAV. This paper presents these sensors, the platform and latest results in remote sensing domain.
