OVERVIEW
Modern armed forces rely on space-based observation satellites to gain a comprehensive battlefield view. SAR satellites overcome the limitations of optical imagery, penetrating clouds, smoke, and darkness. Constellations track targets over time, monitoring troop movements, vehicle deployments, and potential threats, giving commanders unmatched situational awareness.
HIGHLIGHTS
- High end SAR micro satellite
- Based on OPTSAT 500 platform
- Designed for stand alone or constellations
- Outstanding price to performance ratio
- Ready for serial production
- Locked orbit
Values & Benefits
The power of SAR observation extends beyond static imagery. A high-revisit SAR-based constellation operates 24/7, in all weather and lighting conditions, allowing ongoing imaging of areas of interest.
IAI’s TecSAR XP is an advanced earth observation micro satellite using a proprietary SAR payload developed in-house. Unlike EO satellites that require daylight and a clear line of sight, TecSAR XP employs electromagnetic energy beams to create high-resolution images for both defence and homeland security applications.
Lightweight and agile, TecSAR XP can maneuver quickly to acquire multiple targets or scan large areas in a short time. It is augmented by IAI’s innovative ground segment software and advanced data processing, delivering accurate data with unprecedented speed and revisit times.
Based on over four decades of space excellence, TecSAR XP is compatible with most commercial launch service providers, including “Ride Share” options for reduced cost. Built to the highest standards, it operates reliably in standalone or constellation configurations, providing high-quality imagery to IAI customers worldwide.
