| In
1980, Bercha diversified into remote sensing with the
acquisition of this Gulfstream 1 aircraft (P8009). |
The Gulfstream was equipped with a
Motorola Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR). |

| The
Falcon aircraft C-GRSD was the platform for the electro-optical
facility during a number of projects carried out for the Canada
Centre for Remote Sensing. Scientific and technical support was
provided for the definition of mission requirements for a
satellite equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (RADARSAT).
The Falcon took part in projects such as R8408, R8305, R8115.
|
The real aperture radar was
revitalized in a digital form in 1990 on a Metro II aircraft.
The system, based out of Inuvik, provided 3 years of ice patrol
service to Canadian Marine Drilling from 1990 to 1992. (P9002)
