The “Array Passive ISAR adaptive processing (APIS)” project has been conceived in the framework of the Defence R&T Joint Investment Programme on Innovative Concepts and Emerging Technologies (JIP-ICET) initiative promoted by the European Defence Agency (EDA). The APIS consortium was constituted by 6 entities, and 4 countries; INDRA Sistemas S.A. (INDRA) (ES), National Interuniversity Consortium for the Telecommunications (CNIT) (IT), VITROCISET SPA (VITRO) (IT), Universidad de Alcalá (UAH) (ES), MTA-SZTAKI (MTA) (HU), University of Cyprus (UCY) (CY). The project has had a total duration of 24 months. The APIS system is defined as a multichannel, multistatic single receiver for array passive radar (PR), and is capable of detecting targets and generating ISAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) images for classification purposes.

The aim of this project is to build a demonstrator of a moving target SAR image refocusing system. Such system will operate via a Graphical User Interface and will be applied to Cosmo SkyMed SAR images. ISAR-SKY demonstrator will function both in automatic and user-operated mode. In the former mode, moving targets will be automatically detected and refocussed following either a pre-determined or adaptive scheme. In the latter mode, the system will be operated by a user, who will manually detect targets and will decide which one to refocus.
