Bryza-1RM/Bis — A multimission polish navy plane with SAR sensor dedicated to sea and ground monitoring

The paper presents the results of real-life measurements using an ARS-800 SAR sensor installed on the maritime patrol aircraft BRYZA-1RM/Bis. In the present day there is a large need for small — and medium-sized reliable sensors for remote imaging of the area of interest. Among many others, medium and high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR), working in different modes (SAR, ISAR and others) play a special role. The main task for such radars is to provide images of the Earth's surface, and detailed imaging of selected targets (e.g. ships, buildings, etc.).
