PROJECTS- BE : not yet involved- Type :

- Cat B, 2 to 7 cMS, 0,3 up to 25 M€- OB : ±1/year

- Content: radar oriented- Characteristics :

- Low interaction with BE civil industries- R&T limits vague :

- Systems vs components : IAP1- Technology vs functionality : IAP3 (optics) & IAP4 (CIS (-networks)

- Impact for/work of R&T excellence centers (EC)- Get informed on possible future partnerships- Get some results / feedback from other EC- Give advice to EDA and work as experts more focused on realistic

R&T approaches- Propose new R&T agenda / projects

PROJECTS- Completed

- OB – ERIT (Enhanced Radar Imaging Techniques)☞Final report on 25 Feb 11 – Rep Dept CISS expectedMain topic : set of algorithms to produce HR images with H PRF

Doppler radar (with target/sensor : H velocity/fast accelerations)

- SMRF*/B - SIMPLE (SMRF Implementation)- Define critical interfaces to fit a scalability concept (design, Sp,

…) : ended in Nov 10.

- B – COMARMS (EW Common Modular Architecture for Mission Simulation)

- Which model/simulation environment in pMS, what for, background to develop commonalities

*SMRF : Scalable Multi-Function RF System (10 years)SR/HR : Super/High Resolution

PROJECTS- Ongoing

- B/ITP* – SIMCLAIRS (Studies for Integrated Multifunction Compact Lightweight Airborne Radars and Systems) wrt Lt UAV RF payloads in ISTAR package

☞Perhaps interesting for RMA/MECA/MFTA if further research (Tz : Apr 13)

☞Could be a project shared with IAP1 (TB coordinated by EDA)

- B – TELLUS (Technology Enablers for Light & Low cost Urban RF Systems)

- Focused on radar & ESM systems

- B – SPREWS (Signal Processing for Radar and EW Systems) New technologies/algorithms developments to better perform

in radar/Tx/ target acquisition (D/R/I/L)

*ITP : Innovation & Technology Partnership

PROJECTS- Ongoing

- B - FARADAYS (Frequency Allocation for Radars in the Coming Years)

- Possible output to BE : radars’ frequency features if not classified !

- OB - ASAR (Adaptative Self-Learning and Anticipative Radar) (1 year contract)

☞KO : 13 Jan 11 - intermediate results : 15 Jun 11, EDA☞Some interesting WP’s for SIC-03 (SD Radar with GPU) if

continued !?!
