This grant aims to develop a sophisticated radar system, the Gotcha Spiral II, capable of collecting and archiving high-quality data across an expansive city-sized area, ranging from 10km (threshold) to 20km (objective) in diameter. The system is designed to support all Gotcha operational modes and facilitate near real-time data distribution for efficient ground processing. A core innovation involves employing a dual high/low band radar configuration, with the objective of simultaneous UHF/X operation. This advanced setup is crucial for enhancing Coherent Change Detection (CCD) capabilities and enabling effective Foliage Penetration (FOPEN), thereby significantly improving environmental data acquisition and analysis for various applications.

| Description: | The objective of this effort is to create a radar system that shall collect and archive data covering a wider city-sized area of 10km (threshold) to 20km (objective) diameter spot. The data generated from this radar shall be of sufficient quality to support all the Gotcha modes. This system will also be able to support near real-time data distribution for ground processing. Utilizing a dual, high/low band radar configuration will improve CCD and enable foliage penetration (FOPEN), with simultaneous UHF/X as the objective, and successive dual band operation being the threshold. |
