In the field of remote sensing and reconnaisance research the German Aerospace Research Establishment (DFVLR) carries out different experiments with different sensors or sensor packages. One of these is the DFVLR-SLAR, an experimental inexpensive side-looking airborne radar operating in X-band. It is used for generation of radar imagery from land and sea surfaces with spatial resolution similar to that of future satellite systems. Depending on the application, the SLAR is flown in different aircraft such as the Cessna 207, Do28 or Do 228. The DFVLR-SLAR was employed during the Archimedes II project (oil slick detection, qualification and classification in the North Sea) on 1st and 2nd October 1985. The data collected show the good ability of the SLAR to detect thin oil slicks, of the order of 1 microm or less, on the water's surface. The observed shapes of the slicks are similar to those obtained from an UV and an IR sensor.
