Popis: This paper presents recent updates to the CReSIS radar sensor package and the platforms supporting these sensors. These sensors cover a wide frequency range (14 MHz to 38 GHz). The specific frequency bands are chosen to balance between bandwidth available and signal penetration. The wide frequency range is also used for measuring different phenomenology. CReSIS has integrated these radar systems, including antennas, on a wide variety of fixed wing crewed aircraft, several UAV platforms, and for ground-based applications. The software for processing the radar data is now open source and an overview of the capabilities and how to access and use the software are presented. Finally, example data products which explore the new capabilities of the sensors and platforms are given.
