For those who are unfamiliar, the battlefield surveillance radar is a lightweight,
man-portable battery-powered electronic short-range radar system developed to
provide all-weather surveillance against intrusion. The radar enables search
operations and can track multiple targets.
It is equipped with built-in software algorithms that can detect,
track, and classify targets such as crawling men, marching soldiers, light and
combat vehicles, and low-flying helicopters. It is also equipped with an
interface for data transfer to remote locations. In addition, it aids in
perimeter e-surveillance for paramilitary forces, defense installations, and
civilian infrastructures such as airports.
According to Research and Markets, Satellite communication (SATCOM) has become a
vital mode of communication for soldiers and operators under hazardous
conditions in the border, the middle of the sea, or any inaccessible areas.
One can then observe that, in its recent report, Research and Markets states
that, due to its advantages, global defense authorities are developing advanced
and sophisticated systems and technologies to strengthen their military
capabilities.
In fact, the ability of these remote-sensing satellites
to capture superior satellite-based earth observation images and to help users
by allowing them to acquire electro-optical data from new and existing
databases is a game changer.
Beyond some significant technological challenges including harsh radio frequency (RF)
propagation environments, severe spectrum restrictions, and rigid safety
requirements related to data encryption, it is obvious that, Remote Sensing
Satellite is henceforth at the core of intelligence and information in our
ever-connected world.
