NanoSAR B is the next evolutionary step for higher quality imagery and further range.

The NanoSAR B provides enhanced image quality over NanoSAR A, by using a tactical inertial navigation system. (NOTE: requires a digital data link with approx. 6.5 Mbits/sec). On board firmware compresses realtime SAR data and transmits over a digital link to the Lisa Ground Station where the imagery is generated and archived for exploitation by the Lisa tool suite. This system is capable of magnitude and coherent change detection.

Leonardo

The Leonardo SAR is the high precision/high performance radar consisting of a Ku band sensor with 0.3, 1, 2 m resolution in stripmap with coherent and non-coherent change detection modes. Leonardo is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2010.

Viper Ku is a communications base station for Ku based CDL links.

The Viper base station consists of a 4 foot ruggedized turret capable of directional and omni direction communications for a CDL (miniCDL) based radio systems operation at Ku frequencies. Data rates can be as high as 20 MBits/sec at ranges of 50 Kilometers. In addition to the turret the Viper base station can function as an RTK GPS receiver with the ability to upload RTK corrections to a GPS rover for millimeter positioning precision. All equipment is provided in a rugged watertight case for extended outdoor setup.

Lisa Ground Station

The Lisa Ground Station is a hardware and software suite containing tools useful for SAR image generation and exploitation. The tools included are:

• A hardware server rack that can process real-time SAR data received over a high speed communications link. Once processed, the data is stored into a 10+ Terabyte database storage array allowing for weeks of stored imagery.
• An image exploitation tool called Lisa Viewer that allows a user to compare imagery from multiple flights.
• Lisa Dashboard tool that allows a user to control the SAR from a Ground Station.
• Lisa Ground Station hosts a Google Earth server where flight operations can be configured and monitored.

Viper LS is a communications base station for L band and S band high bit rate data links.

The Viper base station consists of a 1.2-1.8 meter ruggedized turret capable of directional communications for a radio systems operation at L/S band frequencies. Data rates can be as high as 6.4 MBits/sec at ranges of 50 Kilometers. The turret can also be equipped with a full INS system for sea based deployments with the ability to remove ship motion.
