The recent launches of Earth Observation (EO) satellites have made numerous SAR images available to dynamically monitor the ocean with improved spatial resolution at shorter revisit time. Focusing on automatic target detection of ships with the specific aim of improving our Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), this work assesses the capabilities of multi-frequency/multi-mission spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. Specifically, Sentinel-1 (C-band), COSMO-SkyMed (X-band), and SAOCOM (L-band) missions have been considered in this analysis. The aim of the paper is to present an efficient approach for interpreting images acquired within small time gaps, ensuring fisheries and pollution control, anti-piracy actions, and surveillance over coastal/protected regions.

Abstract
The recent launches of Earth Observation (EO) satellites have made numerous SAR images available to dynamically monitor the ocean with improved spatial resolution at shorter revisit time. Focusing on automatic target detection of ships with the specific aim of improving our Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), this work assesses the capabilities of multi-frequency/multi-mission spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. Specifically, Sentinel-1 (C-band), COSMO-SkyMed (X-band), and SAOCOM (L-band) missions have been considered in this analysis. The aim of the paper is to present an efficient approach for interpreting images acquired within small time gaps, ensuring fisheries and pollution control, anti-piracy actions, and surveillance over coastal/protected regions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
