Abstract
A radar system includes an AESA and at least one ground mapping linear array that operate on a separate receive channel and send I/Q digital terrain mapping data to a radar processing unit. The linear arrays provide constant ground mapping. The AESA may have more than one panel. Panels may be arranged as a chevron with the linear arrays disposed at the periphery. The AESA and linear arrays may be configured as a radar interferometer for track location and/or geolocation. The linear arrays may be configured as near field probes for insitu calibration.
