An organization for individuals who share a common interest in RADAR and wish to foster and preserve RADAR research, development, and usage in South Africa.
SARIG's vision is to promote the exchange of ideas and information in the field of radar; to recognize advances and contributions to radar; to document the history of radar; to support continuous education in the field of radar; to promote industrial cooperation; to appropriately commemorate the memory of fellow RADAR enthusiasts; to encourage original research; to foster the dissemination of new knowledge; and to further the professional development of those engaged in related scientific engineering.
SARIG's mission is to promote all aspects of RADAR to all relevant bodies, including the government, and to form an influential group that can influence future RADAR policy.
The group will consist of South Africans who are actively involved in RADAR or are interested in RADAR. These individuals can come from organisations such as academic institutions, research institutes, defence companies, government organisations in various forms, and non-defence companies. It is at SARIG's discretion whom to invite, an individual and/or organization, to participate in the grouping. The size of the interest group will be determined by the number of members it attracts. The group's voluntary membership must be approved by the group. Independent members who do not belong to RADAR organizations may be accepted as members if they are privately involved in RADAR or have an interest in RADAR and SARIG believes they can make a valuable contribution. SARIG membership is open to non-South African citizens based in South Africa, provided all membership criteria have been met. They, however, will not partake in any sensitive activities that are deemed to affect South Africa’s national security.
