This paper demonstrates the current operational state of Simon Fraser University’s experimental airborne SAR system. The usual configuration consists of an Artemis SlimSAR, an Artemis MicroASAR, and a Fairbanks Fodar optical structure-from-motion system. It is often operated in the area surrounding Kluane Lake in Yukon Territory, Canada using a Helio Courier aircraft. However, all components can be shipped and mounted on other aircraft, including helicopters. Currently, high quality SAR images are formed using a range-Doppler processor. This processor also generates interferograms, but the removal of all motion artifacts from these interferograms is a work in progress.
