Isn't that Synthetic Aperture Radar though? You can get similar results (black and white aerial pictures) by strapping a pretty basic siso radar system on a drone.
I’m honestly not sure what the difference is. I kind of understand SISO, MIMO, and beam steering concepts, but just the basics from nerding out on my Starlink dish.
Yes, that looks like regular SAR imagery. Checkout @umbraspace if you want to see some really nice SAR images captured by satellites launched along starlink satellites.
This is what I’m talking about: https://www.twz.com/f-35-will-get-new-radar-under-massive-up...

I don’t know how targeting works, but with this level of resolution, I think basic image algorithms can start to come into play. It blows my mind.
