A 94 GHz imaging radar-based on the interrupted FMCW (FMICW) principles, with its associated gimbals for stabilization and scanning has been developed as an airborne test-bed to evaluate radar-aided navigation and guidance algorithms. Preliminary results from helicopter-based flight tests show sufficient contrast between selected features (including runways) and their surroundings for both computer- and human-pilot-based guidance. Feature extraction and matching algorithms have shown this system to be more accurate than GPS.
