Presentation of new technologies and techniques that significantly advance radar system capabilities for ground penetration, land, ocean, air, space and astronomy applications. Innovative system applications in air-defense, anti-missile, imaging, and mobile are encouraged. Technology areas such as radar, wideband, MIMO, and antenna signal processing, hardware and devices, materials, lasers, scattering, big data processing, architectures, multi-function operation, and multi-site coordination are all appropriate. In addition to the presentation of contributed technical papers in high quality oral and poster sessions, the committee is planning a conference agenda that includes invited talks from leading experts within our community, an excellent selection of tutorials, exhibits, and informal gatherings for colleagues to share ideas.
