Brazilian radar in the spotlight: FAPESP highlights SAR technology that can transform businesses

| Radaz | Blog

When one of Brazil’s leading science magazines dedicates space to cover a technology, it’s not by chance. Pesquisa FAPESP — a reference in science and innovation — brought attention to a solution that can change the way we look at the soil and many other sectors: SAR radar mounted on drones.

Why did this radar stand out?

In the field of innovation, it’s not enough to be different — you have to be relevant. And that’s exactly the impact highlighted by the article, showing how the radar works:

  • Measuring soil moisture at different depths: a crucial insight for anyone who depends on agriculture.
  • Accuracy under any condition: clouds, dense vegetation, or lack of light are no obstacle.
  • Efficient water use: data that helps reduce waste and guide more sustainable decisions.
  • High resolution: measurements that directly impact productivity and business management.

From science to everyday impact

What the article reveals goes beyond technological innovation: it’s science acknowledging that tools like SAR radar can transform how we care for the environment, optimize resources, and generate real value for businesses.

In other words: we’re not just talking about drones or radars. We’re talking about more efficient agriculture, strategic decisions based on reliable data, and even smarter approaches to infrastructure and basic sanitation.

Who is already investing in this technology

Organizations such as Vale, Klabin, Nexa, UNICAMP, IEAv, GFZ, Surveyar, and the Technology Innovation Institute are already using or researching with the radar developed by Radaz.
