Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide remote sensing imagery for mobile structures. A remote sensing imagery system includes a radar assembly mounted to a mobile structure and a coupled logic device. The radar assembly includes an orientation and position sensor (OPS) coupled to or within the radar assembly and configured to provide orientation and position data associated with the radar assembly. The logic device is configured to receive radar returns corresponding to a detected target from the radar assembly and orientation and/or position data corresponding to the radar returns from the OPS, determine a target radial speed corresponding to the detected target, and then generate remote sensor image data based on the remote sensor returns and the target radial speed. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.
