Abstract
Goleta has been developing low-cost and lite-weight MMW SAR / MTI radar technology, under DOD and private funding. Initial models of two different radars have been built, the LUAVR and the LCLPR. The current LUAVR (Lite-weight UAV radar) configuration weighs in at 18-lbs and the first LCLPR version (Low-Cost Low-Power Radar) weighs in at 2-lbs. Initial testing was done from the roof of a van simulating a low flying UAV. Currently the LUAVR is flying in an ultra-lite as part of a UAS demonstration system. The system is comprised of both airborne and ground segments with a data link connecting the two. The system has been flying and gathering SAR and MTI data continuously since January of 2008.
