Abstract
The device for the detection and location of objects on the ground in a delimited zone comprises (i) a radar transmitter/receiver provided with at least one antenna generating a radiating beam displaced parallel to itself over a path that is substantially transverse with respect to its direction round a stationary position relative to the ground, and (ii) synthetic aperture radar processing means processing the output signal of the radar receiver relating to the return of said beam over said zone in accordance with the antenna movement, so as to detect and locate the objects on the ground in the said delimited zone.
