Abstract
Monostatic pursuit refers to the operating mode formed by two monostatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems that follow an identical orbit with a separation in a time of several seconds. The detected changes between SAR scenes with several seconds of time difference are most likely the changes caused by ground moving targets. Hence, this operating mode opens an opportunity to detect ground moving targets by SAR change detection methods. This article investigates this possibility to detect ground moving targets using change detection and to combine change detection and ground moving target indication (GMTI) for GMTI. In this combination, a GMTI method will help to classify the detected changes obtained with a change detection method. Some GMTI results are provided in the article based on the measurements in the monostatic pursuit mode with deployed targets, conducted by TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X in Sweden in early 2015.
