This project aims to establish a new national capability for airborne-radar remote-sensing to provide unprecedented detail on environmental variables including soil moisture, salinity, vegetation and terrain height. This instrument, together with existing radar and radiometer capability, will yield the first airborne satellite simulator of its type in the world, providing Australian and overseas researchers with a unique and affordable tool for world-class pioneering research. This novel combination of sensors is expected to yield a level of detail that cannot be achieved with any one sensor alone. Applications include increased capability for monitoring of important environmental data, such as information on soil moisture status required for efficient and sustainable water use.

该项目旨在建立一种新的国家航空雷达遥感能力，以提供有关土壤湿度、盐度、植被和地形高度等环境变量的前所未有的详细资料。该仪器加上现有的雷达和辐射计能力，将产生世界上第一个机载卫星模拟器，为澳大利亚和海外研究人员提供一个独特的和负担得起的工具，进行世界级的开创性研究。这种新颖的传感器组合有望产生任何一个单独的传感器都无法实现的细节水平。这些应用包括提高监测重要环境数据的能力，如有效和可持续用水所需的土壤湿度状况信息。
