Sisir Radar, a pioneering space-tech startup by former ISRO Director Dr Tapan Misra, is proud to announce its success in the prestigious iDEX DefSpace Challenge. At the Indian Space Conclave hosted by the Indian Space Association, Sisir Radar was bestowed with this Award by Air Marshal Surat Singh of the Indian Air Force.
The winning projects by Sisir Radar pertain to the development of “L/P band Continuous Wave SAR payload for LEO Small Satellites” and “Unfurlable, Electronically Steering Antenna for L/P band SAR payload”.
It is essential to note that L and P band SAR have an advantage over other frequencies (like X band) when it comes to penetration capabilities through rain, clouds, foliage and vegetation in a tropical country like India, and underground penetration capabilities in dry terrain.
Recently, Sisir Radar successfully developed and tested the world’s highest resolution L-Band SAR led by our founder Dr Tapan Misra. He is the brains behind ISRO’s acclaimed RISAT series of SAR satellites as well as the Dual Frequency SAR on the Chandrayaan 2 orbiter that is currently circling the moon.
About SAR: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a special kind of imaging radar technology that can provide extremely accurate high resolution imagery of the terrain through clouds, smoke and dust even in pitch dark conditions. SAR imagery provides much higher resolution than other forms of remote sensing technology such as hyperspectral and multispectral. SAR is a critical technology for strategic reconnaissance and planning as well as for disaster management.
About SISIR Radar:
SISIR Radar is a DeepTech startup that specialises in cutting-edge radar technology. Led by the former Director of Space Applications Centre (SAC), ISRO and Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) – Shri Tapan Misra (Chief Scientist and Chairman), Soumya Misra (CEO) and Urmi Bhambhani (CTO), Sisir Radar has achieved a significant breakthrough with world’s highest resolution L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with 20cm resolution – 15x improvement on current world standards for L-Band SAR. Sisir Radar has also successfully developed high-resolution Ground Penetrating Radars (GPR) that have been tested in some of the most challenging mines in the country. The company’s innovative solutions promise to reshape remote sensing across various industries, setting new standards for data accuracy and accessibility.
