MicroASAR
Micro Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar

The Micro Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (MicroASAR) is an airborne radar system developed by Brigham Young University (BYU) and Artemis, Inc. It was designed to operate on uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and small aircraft. It is a C-band (5428.76 MHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) that provides radar imagery at a nominal range resolution of 1 m at a 160 MHz bandwidth. MicroASAR can operate at altitudes ranging from 500 to 3000 ft and has a maximum swath width of 300 to 2500 m.
