In this video, IMSAR explains how radar and optical sensors work together to create a fuller intelligence picture.
While EO/IR systems capture detailed views of a single location, radar provides wide-area awareness that shows where those details matter most. By revealing the broader scene in a single image, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) helps operators understand which areas merit closer inspection with optical sensors.
IMSAR develops Low Size, Weight and Power SAR systems designed for integration on unmanned aircraft and drones. These lightweight, compact radars complement EO/IR and electronic warfare payloads and deliver advanced geospatial intelligence in all weather conditions, day or night.
Supported by IMSAR’s radar ecosystem, users can plan flights, collect imagery, and convert radar returns into clear, interpretable data products. High-resolution SAR imagery, Coherent Change Detection, and Moving Target Indicator feeds work alongside optical sensing to ensure the bigger picture is never overlooked.
