Abstract

The Lincoln Laboratory ground-based UWB Rail SAR was used to collect UHF and L-band data on a variety of mine-like targets. The target set consisted of metal pipes, bomb fragments, and M-20 metallic anti-tank mines, above and below ground. Mostly co-polarized data was collected for depression angles between 10 and 30 degrees. Imagery of the targets in different frequency sub-bands are shown and RCS characteristics are quantified.
