SAR info
For BONO and the others who keep on about debris, bear in mind what the Australian military have said. " We have to find the haystack"
As I said in a post several days ago, I've been there, in the haystack, and still couldn't find what we were looking for. Even with modern radars, sea clutter is a major problem, particularly when looking into the swell. If the object in the water is moving relative to the swell you may be able to electronically isolate it. If on the other hand it is drifting with the swell I don't see how you can reduce the sea return without killing the return from the object.
So back to Mk 1 eyeball!
Info from current SAR types would be helpful.
