Because SAR sensors rely on radar, they can produce images of the Earth at night and in all-weather conditions, unlike traditional electro-optical systems. The capability is especially useful for tracking movements or changes on the ground and has been in high demand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/04\/06\/intelligence-agencies-accelerate-use-of-commercial-space-imagery-to-support-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">during Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA issued broad agency announcements for the efforts in February and March focused on improving SAR technology in three areas: automated object recognition; distributed radar image formation; and digital signal processing. Responses for all three are due in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The automated object recognition project, <a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/opp\/20a79e02e0c649d9a062bba262e902e3\/view\" target=\"_blank\">which DARPA has dubbed \u201cFiddler,\u201d<\/a> is focused on using machine learning and computer vision methods to create training data that can be used to improve existing ML algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPerformer methods will learn from real SAR images to generate or render synthetic SAR images at new imaging geometries or configurations,\u201d the Fiddler notice states. \u201cPerformers will then demonstrate the generation of diverse training data from a few real examples to rapidly train robust SAR object detection methods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA is interested in maritime applications for Fiddler, noting that while SAR object detection in coastal regions has improved significantly, there is a need for better methods to classify objects that are moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor stationary objects, such as many terrestrial objects-of-interest, large training sets can be acquire over time to cover as many of the possible imaging variations,\u201d the notice states. \u201cMaritime environments are much more challenging because most objects-of-interest and the background scene are always in motion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effort will include three phases and span more than three years, and DARPA plans to award multiple contracts, though the notice doesn\u2019t mention how much funding is available for the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second project, <a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/opp\/e6c79d7c5bb4495d8a7daac890406495\/view\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Radar Image Formation Technology<\/a>, is part of DARPA\u2019s broader vision for so-called mosaic warfare, which is focused on creating highly complex networks composed of smaller systems. Through DRIFT, DARPA wants to use clusters of SAR satellites and develop novel algorithms that \u201cenable revolutionary advances in science, devices or systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA expects to make awards to multiple vendors for the program, which will have three phases over three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the third effort, called Massive Cross-Correlation, DARPA seeks proposals to<a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/opp\/75ba0ead88e641b68ec621dcde31789d\/view\" target=\"_blank\"> improve digital signal processing for SAR systems<\/a> using hybrid architectures. At the end of the four-year effort, which will include multiple vendors with varied technical solutions, DARPA hopes to demonstrate the ability to process larger amounts of data and improve power efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new projects come amid growing demand for satellite imagery from the government and commercial
