Abstract

Functions and significance of an aerial radar monitoring are analyzed from the point of view of the Earth global monitoring system. Future trends are considered for this system based on international agreements related to the Earth remote observation activities. An importance of helicopter-based radar systems is proved for the Russian Federation circumstances. These systems are capable to solve some other problems in addition to monitoring including rescue operations as well as life support operations for little-developed regions which are difficult of access. Several examples of radar aerial systems are discussed developed by the “Corporation Phazotron-NIIR” Joint Stock Company. The systems are capable to solve now the problems mentioned above.
