Testing of the UAVSAR System 2 is scheduled<br />
for FY 2009. Planned improvements to the<br />
G-II include:<br />
• The addition of a REVEAL system to<br />
the G-III for remote interaction with the<br />
instrument.<br />
• An onboard processor for UAVSAR.<br />
• A backup PPA system.<br />
• A shortened instrument pylon.<br />
The shortened pylon will enable operations<br />
from remote deployment sites, and near-term<br />
deployments are planned for Greenland,<br />
Alaska, Maine, and Florida. A prototype Kaband<br />
derivative of the UAVSAR will also be<br />
developed and tested on the G-III during FY<br />
2009.<br />
