ARTINO: A New High Resolution 3D Imaging Radar System on an Autonomous Airborne Platform

The new radar system ARTINO (Airborne Radar for Three-dimensional Imaging and Nadir Observation), devel- oped at FGAN-FHR, allows to image a direct overflown scene in three dimensions. Integrated in a small, mobile, and dismountable UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) it will be an ideal tool for various applications. This paper gives an overview about the ARTINO principle, the raw data simulation, the image formation, the technical realisation, and the status of the experimental system. I. THE ARTINO PRINCIPLE
