Mini radar flies alone.

Ends Defence Electronics successfully tested the newly developed miniature radar MiSar on board a German Armed Forces Luna reconnaissance drone during a flight demonstration in the Baumholder military training area. The flight test proved the Misar's reliability by supplying all-weather, high-resolution Sat (Synthetic Aperture Radar) reconnaissance images in real-time during the demonstration. <<This means we have proved that Sat technology can also be used on a relatively light platform for military tactical reconnaissance [...],>> explained Johann Heitzmann, President and CEO of Eads Defence Electronics. On account of the size and weight of most current Sar radar systems at least 30 kg--platforms with a relatively high load-bearing capacity and plenty of payload space were required. Meaning that there was no way of taking advantage of the benefits offered by Sar technology for obtaining precise real-time images for tactical military missions or time-critical security purposes. This is now possible with the MiSar, which ranges in a weight class substantially below ten kilograms.
