  • Patent number: 10591582
    Abstract: Various technologies for mitigating distortion in coherent image products generated from SAR data are described herein. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets generated based upon SAR returns from first and second passes of a SAR platform over a scene are received. The SAR datasets can be co-notched at matching sample indices to improve coherence of SAR images generated from the datasets. Windowed SAR data is generated by applying independent windows to subsets of each of the datasets to reduce sidelobe levels of their image impulse responses. Coherent image products are generated based upon the windowed SAR data, wherein an image quality of the coherent image products is improved as compared to coherent image products generated based upon the SAR datasets.

  • Patent number: 10307313
    Abstract: An equipment mounting system includes a quick mount track (11) with tapered edges (3611, 3612) couple to a surface or structure. The quick mount track includes a backing plate (15), one or more mounting points positioned such that any forces exerted on a mount (50) coupled to the quick mount track is transferred directly through the quick mount track to the one or more mounting points. The quick mount track also includes a flush mounting surface (3610) that creates and maintains a seal between the quick mount track and the surface, and a chase (3605) is disposed in the quick mount track and defined by the flush mounting surface. A plurality of diamond contoured target regions (13) and a plurality of half diamond contour regions in the backing plate aid in coupling the mount to the quick mount track.
