Abstract: Airborne radar for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance has become an indispensable tool for civilian and military applications, found in both manned and unmanned platforms. Radar offers the usual advantages of providing its own illumination and ability to penetrate optical obscurants like weather, smoke, dust, etc. In addition, with coherent processing, signal phase information can be exploited for some unique sensing modes.

Operational radar systems are usually multi mode to engage missions for all manner of phenomenology detection and characterization, and have a long history of success for their intended purposes. Nevertheless, the advance of technology is facilitating enhanced exploitation of generally existing capabilities, as well as enhanced utility with new capabilities.

We will discuss current state of the art performance, and discuss several promising areas of future capability enhancements.
