These pages describe a release of selected sensor data from approximately ten years of collection from the Infrared Airborne Radar (IRAR) program at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. IRAR, which was flown aboard a Gulfstream G-1 aircraft, was used to collect multispectral ground-image data using active (laser radar) subsystems operating at long-wave and near-visible infrared wavelengths, passive optical subsystems operating in the long-wave infrared band, and a millimeter-wave radar. This page points to sample images constructed from data generated by the IRAR, descriptions of the IRAR sensors, data release support information, and some relevant publications.
