Advances lead to better ice and oil spill detection
Taken from: Marine Electronics & Communications June/July 2012

Suppliers of radar are developing system enhancements to improve target imaging for navigation, and ice and oil spill detection. Software and algorithm developments together with the use of cross-polarising radar, provide the basis for advancing the detection of multi-year ice in polar regions and oil spills during offshore operations. The integration of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology with conventional pulse radar can improve short-range and small target detection. Advance....
