The Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR) is a new ISR that employs modular solid-state and phased-array technologies and will yield measurements of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere with unprecedented versatility and power. AMISR is being deployed at Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR), Chatanika, Alaska (65°N, 147°W) to investigate auroral processes. The AMISR facility establishes a new state-of-the-art for IS radar design by implementing fully electronic beam steering with a phased array of 4096 UHF transceivers. This beam pointing capability is available on a pulse-by-pulse basis.
This installation is coordinated by SRI, International.
