“…The experience obtained while working with highly detailed radar images, with the view to ensure higher level of safety in transport, enabled us to consider the next step in the development of the radio vision technology. Further development of RVS should focus on small-size radars with antenna aperture synthesis (SAR) capabilities, which will soon find wide practical use to ensure the safety of ships in icing conditions prevailing in northern regions of the planet, due to their low cost and low expenses associated with the operation of their carriers -small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) [16]. Expanding the range of applications of such SAR systems may offer an additional advantage consisting in measuring, in one pass, the height of the underlying surface, with the use of interferometry methods [17].…”
