Radar systems, developed to operate in a multi-sensor environment for deployment on space, air, ship and ground platforms will provide methods to remotely sense the environment and to monitor human activity. Arctic nations are looking to radar engineers for these solutions. “The Arctic – The New Frontier” theme for RadarCon13 was chosen to foster an environment for both scientific and operational exchange to enable those solutions.
