argued that an integrated system for SAR image exploitation is needed. 
Such system can support the various up-coming satellite SAR missions 
such as NASA’s SIR-C, Magellan to planet Venus and EOS; ESA’s 
ERS-1 and follow on; Japan’s ERS-1; and it can support the use of 
digital aircraft SAR, such as from JPL and other sources.

Work on the SAR-processing components has been sponsored by 
various agencies and contracts, including the European Space Agency 
and Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Similarly the current transfer into a 
more operational mode is again encouraged and sponsored by the 
same parties. This support is greatly appreciated.
