Open Skies Treaty imaging radar technology issues
This paper discusses the imaging radar technology requirements for the Open Skies regime including the unresolved issues to be discussed at future Open Skies Consultative Commission (OSCC) meetings. Compliance with international rules on shared technology is addressed and some of the practical considerations for operational deployment of the radar imaging equipment in an Open Skies aircraft are presented. The Open Skies Treaty requirements and validation methodologies for imaging radars that have been agreed on and those that will require future OSCC review are discussed.
