Mercury is redefining how Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems are tested. In a recent interview with Aerospace & Defense Technology Magazine (SAE Media Group), Michael Goff, Senior Principal Scientist at Mercury, shares how our ARES-SAR simulator can replicate high-resolution ground returns and moving targets without costly and complex flight testing. Powered by advanced DRFM and real-time simulation software, it enables testing of advanced radar modes like GMTI and ATR, right from the lab.
