Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide remote sensing imagery for mobile structures. A remote sensing imagery system includes a radar assembly mounted to a mobile structure and a coupled logic device. The radar assembly includes an orientation and position sensor (OPS) coupled to or within the radar assembly and configured to provide orientation and position data associated with the radar assembly. The logic device is configured to receive radar returns corresponding to a detected target from the radar assembly and orientation and/or position data corresponding to the radar returns from the OPS, determine a target radial speed corresponding to the detected target, and then generate remote sensor image data based on the remote sensor returns and the target radial speed. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

Enhanced doppler radar systems and methods

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide sonar systems for mobile structures. A sonar system includes a sonar transducer assembly including a sonar transducer, a sonar receiver configured to receive acoustic returns from the sonar transducer and convert the acoustic returns into arrays of time differentiated sonar data samples, and a logic device adapted to communicate with the sonar receiver. The logic device is configured to receive the arrays of the time differentiated sonar data samples from the sonar receiver and process the received arrays to enhance the time differentiated sonar data samples substantially without enhancing sonar artifacts in the time differentiated sonar data samples Processed sonar data and/or resulting imagery may be displayed to a user and/or used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the sonar transducer assembly and/or a mobile structure.
