Description
Summary:use RADARSAT 2 to enable all-weather, day/night persistent surveillance of Canada’s Arctic region and ocean approaches. Project Polar Epsilon is a transformational initiative to introduce space-based wide area surveillance to Canadian Government marine surveillance stakeholders. Effort in algorithm development is being undertaken to expand the potential of RADARSAT 2 for the sovereignty and surveillance mission. Capabilities being further developed include: land surveillance of Canada’s Arctic Region via change detection techniques; ship detection; environmental sensing and ocean intelligence.
