ON-DEMAND SIMULTANEOUS SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR) AND GROUND MOVING TARGET INDICATION (GMTI) USING MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method comprising using a computer interactive device of a mobile device to display a past map of a geographic area on a computer display of the mobile device;
- sending a first request signal from the mobile device to a remote platform device concerning the geographic area;
wherein the first request signal includes a request for current data about the geographic area;
receiving a first return signal from the remote platform device, at the mobile device, in response to the first request signal; and
wherein the first return signal has the current data about the geographic area;
and wherein the current data about the geographic area is based on the first request signal;
and further comprising displaying on the computer display of the mobile device the current data about the geographic area.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for obtaining current geographic imagery and moving target geolocations and tracks from a typically autonomous remote platform device with sensors spanning the electromagnetic spectrum through a mobile device interface. An autonomous system is provided capable of interpreting high-level commands, measuring data using multiple sensors and processing the data to generate relevant data products which expedites the data measurement/processing procedure enabling field personnel to request and receive mission-critical intelligence in a timely manner.
