An Airborne Radar for High Precision Digital Elevation Model Generation

This paper describes the Interferometric SAR (InSAR) of Aero-Sensing AeS-1 The system AeS-1, being designed and manufactured at Aero-Sensing, will be mainly used for generation of fully geocoded SAR images and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) AeS-1 has a maximal ground resolution of 0 5 m x 0 5 m and a height accuracy of 0 5 m AeS-1 will have the first tests in August 1996 and will be operational in November 1996 The expected products of the AeS-1-System are presented Finaly the results of the DLR SAR E-SAR are shown
