Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is well known as the imaging technique that can see through clouds and darkness, but SAR has many other valuable capabilities that are simply not available from optical sensors and it is becoming more pervasive. This class includes expansive descriptions and hundreds of illustrations to review the existing and developing capabilities of this valuable resource.

• How SAR works and why it is capable of producing images of nearly unlimited resolution regardless of how far away the sensor is from the ground.
• How to interpret SAR images and understand various radar image signatures.
• Why a calibrated SAR sensor is capable of pristine geolocation accuracy.
• The capabilities and limitations of commercial SAR sensors and the new low-cost small-sat SARs.
• The differences in SAR image formats and their exploitation implications.
• How the natural coherence of SAR illumination enables the formation of traditional images as well as many other valuable products, such as: lownoise multi-look images, color sub-aperture images that highlight glints or moving objects, dense elevation models, precise measurements of Earth surface motion over time, amplitude and coherent change detection pairs or series, and even multi-temporal SAR “genetic-stacks” consisting of a series of SAR images that each have identical geometry, radiance and phase.
• What a modern SAR processing flow ought to look like, and how commodity technology can enable fast and easy interactive manipulation of SAR data and improve automation.
