Abstract

Abstract: A panel discussion on the challenges for the Next Generation SAR was held during the EO Summit 2017. Three main topics were discussed during this panel. The first was how to respond to the trend of using multi-frequency data in the context of the long history of C-Band SAR in Canada. The second challenge focus on the best way of developing land applications and if multiple small satellites offer better opportunity than a single large satellite. The last challenge looked at the impact of the small-satellite trend and their potential impact on Maritime Domain Awareness. A summary of the discussion held is presented here.
