CALL FOR PAPERS > Synthetic Aperture Radar Technology > WORKSHOP DATES: October 22-23, 2003 > LOCATION: Bob Jones Auditorium Redstone Arsenal, Alabama > OBJECTIVE: The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the timely dissemination of state-of-the-art advances in small, lightweight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems and enabling technologies. Small SAR systems with sub-meter resolution hold the promise of significantly enhancing the performance of missiles/bombs and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) in adverse weather and to aid in near time terrain mapping in the civilian sector. Participation from industry, academia, and government is solicited. > POTENTIAL TOPICS: *Small SAR system Development Programs *Motion Compensation Algorithms/Techniques *Autofocus Routines *3-D Terrain Mapping using SAR *Real time Image Formation Techniques *Interferometric SAR *MEMS and Nano-Technology for SAR *Trajectory Shaping for Weapon based SAR *Fundamental Image formation Algorithms *Other > ATTENDANCE: The workshop is open to industry, academia, and government. One session of the conference MAY BE CLASSIFIED. Further information will be available regarding this issue. The remainder of the workshop will be UNCLASSIFIED. However, attendance is restricted. > THIS CONFERENCE IS OPEN TO U.S. CITIZENS ONLY. > **** ALL U.S. CITIZENS MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MUST BRING YOUR GOVERNMENT PICTURE ID, PASSPORT, CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE, CERTIFICATE OF NATURALIZATION OR HAVE A VISIT REQUEST SENT FROM YOUR SECURITY OFFICE.
