The primary objective of the UAVSAR Project is to develop a miniaturized polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for use on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or minimally piloted vehicle. This viewgraph presentation reviews NASA Dryden's role in the UAVSAR program. The G-III aircraft is described and shown, as well as a high level system architecture. The goals of the Platform Precision Autopilot (PPA) that it are shall fly the G-III within a 10 m (32.8 ft) diameter tube for at least 90% of each data take in conditions of calm to light atmospheric disturbances, as defined in MIL-STD-1797. That it minimize motion during data collection. It is critical to operate the UAVSAR System on a steady platform.
