  1. POLAR EPSILON AND CANADIAN MDA J.K.E. Tunaley Directorate of Space Development

  2. RADARSAT-2 • Launch March 2007 • Altitude 800 km • Sun-synchronous polar orbit • Repeat cycle 24 days • C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

  3. SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR • High resolution; e.g. Swath width 20 km, Resolution 3 m • Quad-pol; Swath width 25 km, Resolution 10 m. • Wide area surveillance, e.g. ScanSAR Narrow; swath width 300 km, Resolution 50 to 75 m • GMTI; Swath width 50 km, Resolution 8 m.

  4. PRINCIPAL CANADIAN USERS • Canadian Forces • MDA, Arctic • Environment Canada • Ice Service, ISTOP

  5. POLAR EPSILON • Ship detection: SOR • 25 m ships, PD = 90%, PFA = 10-9, Sea State 5 • 15 min time latency • Oil detection • Surface wind extraction

  6. POLAR EPSILON MDA (BASIC) • Ground stations at Halifax and Esquimalt • OceanSuite/CSIAPS software • Maritime Satellite Surveillance Radar (MSSR) • Environmental sensing

  7. OCEANSUITE

  8. MDA • Detect • Classify • Identify • Track • Intent

  9. POLAR EPSILON MDA (ENHANCED) • AIS • Self-reporting • Space-borne USCG/ORBCOMM • Considering RADARSAT Constellation as follow-on • 3 to 6 satellites

  10. RADARSAT-1/AIS Fusion VOI CorrelatedTargets

  11. ORBCOMM Revisit

  12. SUMMARY • Value added to RMP: ship ID, heading, etc. • Cross validation of AIS and RADARSAT • Fusion of RADARSAT and AIS data • Non-compliant ships identified • Polar Epsilon/D Space D/USCG real-time trial planned Dec 2006
