Abstract
For many years, DGA MI — expertise center of the French MoD — has developed simulation tools for SAR surveillance applications. The GPU computing has recently opened new efficient ways for raw data simulation. The tools now have the capability to generate complex EM scenes like maritime ones, and therefore can be used for other applications than their initial purpose. The simulation of realistic raw data is crucial for advanced processing, including target imagery modes (SAR/ISAR). This paper focuses on opportunities offered by this set of tools, part of the French DGA simulator named SIROS — Simulation toolset for Imagery Radar and Ocean Surveillance — for studies and for tuning processing.
