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 Presentation to Nat Reps

5. PROJECTS • Completed • OB – ERIT (Enhanced Radar Imaging Techniques) • ☞Final report on 25 Feb 11 – Rep Dept CISS expected • Main 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 ascalability 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 16 Feb 2011 Presentation to Nat Reps Slide 5

6. 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 16 Feb 2011 Presentation to Nat Reps Presentation to Nat Reps Slide 6

7. 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 !?!

8. PROJECTS • In preparation (☞RFI, ideas) • AMBASSADOR (Advanced Model-Based Approach to SMRF* Specification, Analysis Development and Obsolescence Reduction) : • Simulation framework, postponed in 2011 • SMRF (umbrella program) : • New projects, by 2013, based on SIMPLE & AMBASSADOR results. • DAVAC (Deformable and Vibrating Antenna Compensation) • Start Jun 11 (TBC) • RF Bio (Radio Frequency Biological effects) : ☞No BE follow-up possible (HFM/WB02) *SMRF : Scalable Multi-Function RF System

9. PROJECTS • In preparation (☞RFI, ideas) • ERIT – follow-up : • Test, develop, use 2/3D SR ISAR algo for NCTR* ☞OB – RIBA (Radar technologies for Inside Building situation awareness) : planned in Nov/Dec 11. • OB – Miniature radar systems for defence applications : by 2012 • OB – High Power Microwave (HPM) multipurpose grenades and bombs : by 2013 *NCTR : Non Cooperative Target Reconnaissance

10. PROJECTS • In preparation (☞RFI, ideas) • B – NEMESIS (Naval Environment Modelling & Electromagnetic Signature of Surface Targets for Improved Simulators) : • Follow-up (phase I ended in May 10) ☞Complementary to MRN12 on « Dynamic stealthness », i.e radar part of the study • Phase II (design, devpt, implementation) : by 2012 • Current cMS : FR, NL. • Multimode 3D Abn µSAR system : two phases φ1 : BB architecture φ2 : design/analysis/prototype/test on UAV • MIHO* : ☞complementary toMRN13 • STAP** **MIHO : Microdoppler ISAR imaging of human beings for Hidden Object detection ***STAP : Space-Time Adaptative Processing (based on results of SPREWS)

11. PROJECTS • R&T goals : ☞no input from (BE) MoD R&T EC • Long range, persistent, high resolution Abn/UAS RF sensors • Low frequency radars for pervasive surveillance: • Through the wall radars for security and defense applications • Foliage penetrating radars • Stand-Off Ground penetrating radars for in-route threat detection • Wire controlled IEDs • THz technologies for detection of hidden weapons and improvised explosive devices • Sensors networks • Miniature sensors • Adaptative, self-learning and anticipative radar • Bi- and multi-static approaches to enhance Situational Awareness and to reduce EM emissions in radar applications • Non-Cooperative target identification
