MetaSAR-X is MetaSensing’s compact airborne X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) designed for high-resolution mapping, monitoring and intelligence applications. Supporting multiple imaging modes, including Stripmap, Spotlight and Wide Swath, the system delivers precise terrain mapping, surface monitoring and moving target detection in all weather and lighting conditions. Its lightweight architecture enables easy integration on a wide range of aircraft, while MetaSAR-PRO processes synchronized SAR and navigation data into accurate georeferenced products. Single-Pass Interferometry in Cross-Track (XTI) and Along-Track (ATI) modes provides high-performance terrain elevation and motion analysis.
