A VAR system is disclosed. The VAR system may steer a beam to create an illusion of a moving aperture. As a result, a target may be illuminated at different angles to form an image. For example, the VAR system may include a transmission and receiving unit configured to steer a beam, such that a plurality of virtual aperture radars are created behind a reflector. The reflector may be configured to direct the beam to a target, and redirect a plurality of reflected beams from the target to the transmission and receiving unit.
