The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) project began as an Instrument Incubator Program (IIP) out of the NASA ESTO Program Office. After a year of study JPL presented to NASA an instrument concept that could be accommodated on the desired class of platforms, that would meet the original IIP science and instrument objectives and could be expanded to meet future airborne radar science needs. The UAVSAR project is a four year program consisting of a 3 year phase in which the radar system is designed and fabricated, the platform is modified, radar is installed on the aircraft and an initial flight testing program is begun. The last year of the program is designed to collect repeat pass data, to improve system robustness and to validate that the scientific objectives of the sensor are being met.
