Finland – Geological and geophysical instruments – L-band SAR instrument mountable to drone

Request for information on L-band SAR instrument mountable to drone L-band imaging radar will be used for wide-area environmental monitoring. The radar should be mountable on a drone and able to produce single-look complex focused SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images, ground detected images (analysis ready data), and be suitable for interferometric imaging applications. L-band SAR sensor should be mountable on a drone and provide all necessary interfaces and software tools for producing focused analysis ready images. The main application areas where the instrument will be used are: soil moisture retrieval, ground freeze/thaw detection, land ice properties retrieval, snow property retrieval and ground deformation. Non-mandatory option: Drone - The primary objective of the project is to provide an L-band SAR sensor that can be mounted on a most common drone types. Delivery within one year from contract signing or at the latest by the end of August, 2025. Please, see the Appendix 1 for more details. Please note drone is not taken into account into comparative price of this procurement (scoring).
