The distributed aperture coherence-synthetic radar could accomplish long-range and high-precision detection performance according to include multi-unit radars and energy synthesize in space. It provides an effective measurement to resolve the contradiction between platform restriction and detection performance. As the new radar has many advantages, such as strong survival ability, high cost-effectiveness ratio, high angular accuracy, strong expandability, and easy realization, it significantly orients the development of radars. In this paper, the operating principle, technical advantage, development of domestic and foreign, and the key technology of the distributed aperture coherence-synthetic radar are illustrated; in particular, the principle verification experiments are also described. Lastly, the future perspective for the development and typical application of this new radar is also discussed.
