Applied Research

APIS

The “Array Passive ISAR adaptive processing (APIS)” project has been conceived in the framework of the Defence R&T Joint Investment Programme on Innovative Concepts and Emerging Technologies (JIP-ICET) initiative promoted by the European Defence Agency (EDA).

 

HABITAT

The aim of the project is research, prototype development, testing and validation of an integrated system, mainly on the port side, in order to control and support maritime navigation in the last mile of type “all vessels, all weather, all-day” …

 

LOTHAR-FATT

The project is devoted to the feasibility study of a pseudo-monostatic Over The Horizon (OTH) HF sky-wave radar for the surveillance of the Mediterranean area.
The physical principle of a HF OTH sky-wave radar is the ionospheric reflection. Specifically, the transmitted signal is progressively bended during the propagation through the ionospheric layers until it reflects back to the Earth’s surface.

 

PHODIR

PHODIR project focuses on the study, design and realization of a full digital transceiver radar demonstrator based on photonic technology both for signal generation and for RF received signal processing.

 

SMARP

The objective of the project is to design and realize a multiband passive radar demonstrator based on a software-defined solution and oriented to coastal surveillance applications.

 

SOPHIA

The AIM of this research program is the study and design of a multi-carrier transceiver based on electro-optic architectures for wideband wireless transmissions.

CAESARIS

CAESARIS project aims at developing a new, integrated security and search-and-rescue airborne solution conceived to detect people, both above visible and hidden behind opaque layers (like foliage, trailer covers, boat covers) or in darkness and reduced visibility conditions.

 

ISAR-SKY

The aim of this project is to build a demonstrator of a moving target SAR image refocusing system. Such system will operate via a Graphical User Interface and will be applied to Cosmo SkyMed SAR images. ISAR-SKY demonstrator will function both in automatic and user-operated mode.

 

ITS – ITALY 2020

The aim of the project is to develop innovative solutions in the field of ITS in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the logistics and transportation processes, with a particular focus on inter – modal freight transportation.

 

RICS

The objective of the study is to identify, analyze, describe and give a proof of concept for radiofrequency military systems applications where the theory of Compressive Sensing (CS) can be efficiently applied.

 

SeaBilla

Project SeaBILLA aims to the improvement of the European Sea Borders Surveillance, toward the employment and integration of heterogeneous sensors belonging to land, sea, air and space segments. Besides the development and management of the SeaBILLA website and repository, the role of RaSS within the project concerns definition and the study of a distributed maritime radar network given by a fleet of AIS-equipped co-operating vessels.

 

SPERI

This Project is the follow on of the ERIT project. A limitation of ERIT project was that simulated data were used to develop and test ISAR imaging algorithms. As a natural consequence SPERI Project will try to address the problem of testing ERIT algorithms in presence of real radar data.

ANISAP

The ANISAP project aims at definitely assess the potential of an original concept, called NDSA (Normalized Differential Spectral Attenuation). NDSA is based on the exploitation of the normalized incremental ratio of the spectral attenuation for estimating the atmospheric water vapour content (IWV) and liquid water content (ILW) along microwave paths between two or more LEO satellites, utilizing multi-frequency power measurements in a limb atmospheric geometry.

 

CLEANSKY 3

The purpose of this project  is the definition of the test procedures of  the components of the data processing chain in an X-band airborne polarimetric weather radar and the optimization of the algorithms where necessary.

 

KLEAN

The MAIN OBJECTIVE of the KLEAN project is to develop a custom knowledge-based EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) with SW packages implementing Advanced Weather Radar Post-processor (AWRP) and QAI (Quasi-Artificial Intelligence) agent algorithms, provided by Selex Galileo, for green trajectory optimization (reduction of CO2 and NOX emissions as well as noise pollution).

SHI-RED

The project is relevant to the definition of new architectures of the radiating elements of telecommunications and radar systems operating on board of mobile units. In particular, attention is focused on the definition and the design of novel compact antennas, maintaining high performance from an electromagnetic point of view.

MARTA

The activity concerns the design, realization and testing of novel devices based on metamaterials for Radar applications within the National Defence framework.
