Abstract
In the paper first ground moving target indication (GMTI) and ship surveillance results obtained with the German TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X radar satellite constellation are presented and discussed. For processing a novel GMTI algorithm applicable for dual‐platform synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems was used. This algorithm enables the estimation of the true geographical positions, the velocities and the headings of the detected moving targets with high accuracy. Since no a priori knowledge is needed also targets moving on open land and open sea can be monitored. The algorithm is verified and evaluated using SAR-GMTI data and ground truth reference data acquired during the commissioning phase of TanDEM‐X in 2010.
