SAR: Search and Rescue to Synthetic Aperture Radar

The sentence "Mission sensors include: electro-optical and SAR sensors for surveillance including maritime, or acting as a radio relay." currently links SAR to a "Search and Rescue" page, but I believe it should be referencing Synthetic Aperture Radar. Electro-optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar are both surface scanning methods, so in context Synthetic Aperture Radar makes more sense than Search and Rescue. There is also reference evidence of Vanilla UAV's Synthetic Aperture Radar capabilities here: https://vanillaunmanned.com/news/2021/8/11/vanilla-unmanned-imsar-demonstrate-enhanced-surface-search-for-group-iii-uas

The UAV is probably capable of Search and Rescue type missions, but I believe the original source for this information indented SAR to stand for Synthetic Aperture Radar. 107.222.192.28 (talk) 22:10, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right. I've fixed that (with a SpaceNews ref as well). -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 23:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
