Inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging systems that are used to image targets that undergo rotational accelerations are enhanced by signal processing techniques which provide correction factors to reduce the frequency-shift and frequency-stretch errors that occur due to such accelerations. A target scan is subdivided into a number of sub-apertures and a Fast Fourier Transfer (FFT) is performed on the data for each sub- aperture to provide associated frequency sub-images. The FFT is then subdivided in "sub-swaths" of amplitude versus frequency for a plurality of frequency bands. The change-of-frequency, or frequency shift, data between prominent scattering points of each sub-image are processed to provide a phase correction factor that incorporates range changes and translational acceleration distortions for additional scattering points other than the most prominent scattering point. A frequency-stretch correction factor that compensates for rotational acceleration distortion is also provided.
