The height of a radar target above a horizontal plane at a location within the horizontal plane is measured using a synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The synthetic aperture radar is mounted on a moving platform. The moving platform moves along a continuous climbing path with respect to the horizontal plane acquiring a plurality of SAR arrays of radar return information. Monopulse , Interferometric SAR (IF-SAR), and shadow length height measurements are fused to refine the target height measurement. Monopulse and IFSAR are combined to resolve target height ambiguities. The SAR arrays are separated vertically, at separate heights with respect to the target, and acquired sequentially in time, as a single pass.
