Abstract

This paper presents the survivability, mobility, and functionality of a rover as part of a radar system for polar regions. Rovers can provide autonomy and precision for radars used to measure ice thickness and other characteristics of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. These rovers can be used to move radar antennas in precise patterns for synthetic aperture radars while providing environmental protection and power to the onboard radar equipment. This paper describes the mobility, actuation, sensing, winterization, control, and virtual prototyping of a polar rover. The rover has been successfully tested in Greenland.
