NRL and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. will work to build integrated radar technology for joint warfighter missions under a cooperative research and development agreement, according to an article published Tuesday on the U.S. Navy website.

Thomas Pizzillo, head of NRL’s radar analysis branch, said he believes adding a maritime-ISAR mode to the Lynx radar is a “cost-effective” approach to bring the capability into MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles.

Pizzillo added the lab has performed ISAR imaging formation upgrades in an effort to help end users access high-quality imagery in environments that involve complex target motion.

GA-ASI designed the Lynx radar technology to integrate with remotely piloted aircraft systems and to generate high-resolution imagery through obscurants.

Lynx comprises a synthetic aperture radar, ground and dismount moving target indicator and robust maritime wide-area search modes.
