title = "System upgrades and performance evaluation of the spectrally agile, frequency incrementing reconfigurable (SAFIRE) radar system",
abstract = "The U.S. Army Research Laboratory has developed the Spectrally Agile Frequency-Incrementing Reconfigurable (SAFIRE) radar, which is capable of imaging concealed/buried targets using forward- and side-looking configurations. The SAFIRE radar is vehicle-mounted and operates from 300 MHz-2 GHz; the step size can be adjusted in multiples of 1 MHz. It is also spectrally agile and capable of excising frequency bands, which makes it ideal for operation in congested and/or contested radio frequency (RF) environments. Furthermore, the SAFIRE radar receiver has a super-heterodyne architecture, which was designed so that intermodulation products caused by interfering signals could be easily filtered from the desired received signal. The SAFIRE system also includes electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) cameras, which can be fused with radar data and displayed in a stereoscopic augmented reality user interface. In this paper, recent upgrades to the SAFIRE system are discussed and results from the SAFIRE's initial field tests are presented.",
