  • Adaptive doppler radar systems and methods
    Patent number: 12066519
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide remote sensing imagery for mobile structures. A remote sensing imagery system includes a remote sensing assembly with a housing mounted to a mobile structure and a coupled logic device. The logic device is configured to receive radar returns corresponding to a detected target from the radar assembly, determine a target radial speed corresponding to the detected target, determine an adaptive target speed threshold, and then generate remote sensor image data based on the remote sensor returns, the target radial speed, and the adaptive target speed threshold. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.
