UAV synthetic aperture radar system for control of vegetation and soil moisture

The scope of application of imaging radars is constantly growing and now starts to cover agricultural field. Hence, there is a growing demand for mobile system that can deliver all of the advantages of a radar remote sensing system. The main goal of the system described in this article is to provide farmers with tools for all-weather monitoring of natural and anthropogenic objects: control of vegetation, control of soil moisture etc. Authors is currently taking part in ongoing research into creation of such system. This article describes general setup of the system and algorithms based on which such system will work.
