Varma works on system for clients to do multiple simulations
Hyderabad-headquartered Digilogic Systems Pvt Ltd (DSPL) will leverage SATIM (Poland) resources to integrate, design and develop the Synthetic Aperture RADAR – Environment Simulator (SARES) in India.
SARES is to enable scientists to simulate a wide range of SAR characteristic data in the Radio Frequency in the comfort of their laboratory, DSPL said on 11 Oct 2023 after signing MoU with SATIM which has offices in Krakow, London and San Francisco.
Under the terms of the MoU, SATIM has agreed to provide DSPL with the SAR module libraries.
“MoU between Digilogic and SATIM has been signed keeping in mind the vision of Digilogic to provide the best possible test solution to the complex testing problems faced by our customers,” DSPL CEO Shashank Varma said.
DSPL and SATIM are actively seeking to develop and integrate SARES in India, specifically at the Hyderabad headquarters, as part of the Make in India initiative by the Indian Government, he elaborated.
“By aiming to achieve over 65% indigenous content in the development process, DSPL aims to provide robust local support to its Indian customers.
“This strategic move aligns with the government’s vision and emphasizes the commitment to fostering domestic manufacturing capabilities.”
SARES has been developed to provide a solution for the extreme challenges faced by the research organizations to evaluate a SAR payload before final trials.
In the present scenario, the scientists and developers have no other option but to fly the payload in an aircraft and process the retrieved data. This is a very expensive process, according to Varma.
“Our system will enable our clients to do multiple simulations in the ground itself and evaluate the SAR payload rather than waiting for flight trials. This saves a lot of time and money for the customer which is very critical during the R&D process,” Varma said.
“The application of Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery simulation capabilities provided by SATIM in testing SAR payloads can make the radar sensor development cycle much shorter than currently,” explained SATIM CEO Jacek Strzelczyk.
“It may also provide the ability to test the sensors under different scenarios, conditions and environments. SARES system is created based on experience and unique products of both Digilogic Systems and SATIM.”
