New Delhi, Sep 26 : BENGALURU: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) manufacturing firm ideaForge and space tech startup GalaxEye have signed an MoU to jointly develop a pioneering UAV FOPEN (Foliage Penetration) radar customised for security forces for enhanced aerial surveillance and mapping capabilities.
Under this collaboration, ideaForge will contribute its expertise in UAV technology, blending it with GalaxEye’s Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. Additionally, GalaxEye will provide technical support in optimising the integrated solution to deliver enhanced monitoring capabilities even in challenging scenarios.
“This Foliage Penetrating UAV Radar system will overcome obstructions like clouds, fog, smoke, mist, camouflage nets, and dense tree-canopy foliage, that often hinder surveillance operations. Further, the MoU also includes the development of a high-resolution 3D imaging foliage-penetrating radar. When mounted on a UAV, this radar will function as an all-weather surveillance payload that can identify objects obscured by foliage or camouflage by providing tactical real-time ground photography,” a statement issued here read.
