Harris To Study Space-Based Radar Antenna Technology

Harris GCSD conducts advanced research studies, develops prototypes, and produces and supports state-of-the-art, highly reliable communications and information systems that solve the mission-critical communications challenges of its military and government customers, as well as provides the technology base for the company's diverse commercial businesses.

 Melbourne - Feb 1, 2002
 Harris Corporation has been awarded a one-year, $2.5 million contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Special Projects Office, Washington DC, and the Air Force Research Lab's (AFRL) Sensors Directorate, Rome, New York, to study the development of an advanced spaceborne antenna system for the Innovative Space-Based Radar Antenna Technology (ISAT) Study.

Under terms of the contract, Harris will lead the effort to investigate and study an innovative concept for a lightweight, space-based, extremely large deployable radar antenna designed to address tactical tracking of moving targets on the ground.

Ultimately, ISAT will help provide a solution to the challenge of integrating Space Based Radar (SBR) and a Moving Target Indication from Space (MTIS).

"We are extremely pleased that DARPA and AFRL have selected Harris to support their ISAT initiative for SBR," said Bob Henry, president, Harris Government Communications Systems Division (GCSD).

"DARPA and AFRL's selection of Harris further demonstrates their confidence in our antenna technology and capability. The ISAT program will further extend our decades of market leadership in large deployable antennas and will provide innovative approaches for future U.S. Air Force initiatives."
