Systems and method are provided for three-dimensional (3D) imaging by using Doppler and interferometric processing techniques for general planar phased arrays. Systems and methods according to embodiments of the present disclosure incorporate motion compensation techniques in a way that utilizes the full aperture of a phase array. Embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a variety of different radar imaging modalities, including X-band and millimeter wave (MMW) regimes.

An aircraft-based synthetic vision system (SVS) is disclosed. In embodiments, the SVS includes avionics processors in communication with onboard lightning detection sensors, which provide the SVS with real-time lightning data (e.g., bearing to, and distance from, the aircraft) about proximate lightning strikes. Based on the real-time lightning data, the avionics processors generate flight deck effects (FDE) corresponding to identified areas of lightning activity (e.g., a sufficient quantity of strikes, exceeding a strike threshold, within a particular airspace during a time window), each FDE having a particular bearing to and distance from the aircraft. The FDE data is processed by a display system aboard the aircraft (e.g., a cockpit-based primary flight display (PFD) or head-worn/heads-up display (HWD/HUD)) which incorporates the generated FDEs into the SVS status display provided to the flight crew or pilot at the appropriate bearing and distance relative to the aircraft.

Systems and methods for touchless operation of mechanical input devices are disclosed. In embodiments, a control system includes a mechanical input device, a RADAR sensor, and a controller in communication with the mechanical input device and the RADAR sensor. The RADAR sensor is in proximity to the mechanical input device and configured to track user hand and finger movements. The controller is configured to detect a gesture indicating a user action corresponding to a manipulation of the mechanical input device based on the user hand and finger movements tracked by the RADAR sensor. The controller is further configured to generate a control signal based upon the user action.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a dual-purpose millimeter-wave frequency band transmitter are disclosed. A system includes a dual-purpose transmitter sending a video stream over a wireless link to a receiver. In some embodiments, the video stream is generated as part of an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) application. The transmitter operates in a first mode to scan and map an environment of the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter generates radio frequency (RF) signals in a first frequency range while operating in the first mode. Additionally, the transmitter operates in a second mode to send video data to the receiver, and the transmitter generates RF signals in the first frequency range while operating in the second mode.
