Provides students with a system-level understanding of sensor development. The student will see the development of remote sensing techniques beginning with high-level requirements through concept of operations, architecture development, subsystem modeling and culminating in integration, validation and verification. The student will be exposed to key design parameters for radar and Electro Optical sensing systems that drive both system cost and performance. Advanced multi-sensor systems and adaptive signal processing will also be discussed. May be convened with SIE 455.
