Call

Advanced radar technologies

Summary

Proposals should address the development of new concepts, technological blocks, sub-systems and/or systems in in order to realize a new class of sensors with remarkable sustainable characteristics in all domains (sea, land and air). These aimed achievements should be applicable in different kinds of active or passive radar systems (unification between different kinds of platforms desirable) and need to be able to support future military operations and to cope with new generation of unpredictable and unimaginable threats.

Detailed Call Description

Nowadays, wide range of sensors, which are based on radar technologies, are applied during military operations. Radars are commonly used for supporting multi-domain operations: incl. air and air defence missions, as well as ground/maritime operations. Those technologies are crucial for space/airborne based, as well as ground/maritime based surveillance systems and also they are used in various sub-systems of other purpose (e.g. engagement or logistics) military equipment.
Proposals should include active and passive radars or radar sub-systems, as well as new system architectures of hardware building blocks and software modules designed to enable build up mission specific complex radar sensors and multi-functional radar solutions – eligibly in compliance with European Defence Agency’s CapTech Radiofrequency Sensors Technologies’ Overarching Strategic Research Agenda and its results as well as previous EU funded activities.

Activities should match with the following main abilities:

  • The ability to provide integrated and modular system approach for military specific solutions;
  • The ability to increase integration of more functions into one system;
  • The ability to increase the proliferation of radar-based sensor applications for wide scale of military operations;
  • The ability to enable versatile deployment for the large spectrum of military operations;
  • The ability to enable high operational availability (e.g. by fault tolerance techniques and relative technologies adoption);
  • The ability to apply radar either as a main element or sub-system of one complex equipment regardless of the operational context;
  • The ability to use a radar as a node in a more complex network;
  • The ability to primarily enable efficient software (HW desired as well) upgrades during life cycle;
  • The ability to provide new system test and evaluation (T&E) methods based on RF and/or digital scenario emulators/simulators.

Targeted activities: Activities aiming to create, underpin and improve knowledge, activities aiming to increase interoperability and resilience, studies and design.
