Data Patterns and IN-SPACe Sign ToT Agreement for Miniature SAR Radar Capability

  • 17 Oct 2023

Recently, Data Patterns (India) Limited, a prominent Defence and Aerospace electronics solutions provider, has entered into a Licensing and Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreement with IN-SPACe, enabling Data Patterns to access miniature Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology.

Key Points

  • Technology Origin and Availability: The miniature SAR Radar technology originates from the Space Applications Centre, a division of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
  • This technology is a precursor to ISRO's forthcoming high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite, known as NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar).
  • Technology Utilization by Data Patterns: Data Patterns anticipates leveraging this technology to develop SAR radar systems, thereby expanding its existing array of radar solutions.
  • The company plans to enhance this technology's capabilities further by integrating its Artificial Intelligence tools for object detection and classification.
  • This collaboration also aligns with the aim of optimizing India's space assets and fostering increased space-related activities.
  • Open Opportunities in India's Space Sector: The Indian space sector and economy are undergoing significant transformations due to policy changes initiated by the Government of India.
  • In light of these changes, both Data Patterns and IN-SPACe are well-positioned to harness their knowledge, expertise, and capabilities to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the space domain.
