Remote Sensing, Vol. 13, Pages 4817: Parasitic Surveillance Potentialities Based on a GEO-SAR Illuminator (Remote Sensing)
 


Synthetic aperture radar systems operating with satellites in geosynchronous orbits (GEO-SAR) can provide a permanent coverage of wide specific areas of the Earth’s surface. As well as for primary applications in remote sensing areas such as soil moisture and deformation monitoring, the wide availability of the signal emitted by a GEO-SAR on a regional scale makes it an appealing illuminator of opportunity for bistatic radars. Different types of receiving-only devices located on or near the Earth could exploit the same signal source, noticeably already conceived for radar purposes, for applications in the framework of both military and civil surveillance. This paper provides an overview of possible parasitic applications enabled by a GEO-SAR illuminator in different operative scenarios, including aerial, ground and maritime surveillance. For each selected scenario, different receiver configurations are proposed, providing an assessment of the achievable performance with discussions about the expected potentialities and challenges. This research aims at serving as a roadmap for designing parasitic systems relying on GEO-SAR signals, and also aims at extending the net of potential users interested in investing in GEO-SAR missions.
