4D Imaging Radars and Synthetic Aperture Radars are Finding Wide-ranging Applications in Automotive, Aerospace, and Defense
Opportunities for imaging radars are largely driven by the need for high precision and high-resolution imaging required in land surveillance for assessment of vegetation, topography, hydrology in turn enabling governments or influencing organizations to make informed decisions.
A key area where imaging radars are finding extensive adoption is for use in autonomous vehicles across different levels of autonomy. Efficacy of imaging radars are dependent on their ability to avoid interference from mediums and their capability to spot both short-range and long-range objects as well as distinguish objects and pedestrians irrespective of whether they are stationary or moving.
The primary factors influencing the adoption of imaging radars include the need for automotive safety, need for small satellites for studying various factors of the earth, and also the potential new applications of radars.
