Focus

The increasing number of future applications and scopes of military, commercial and scientific duties of sensor technology requires highly sophisticated systems spread across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. A main focus is on radar sensors for reconnaissance on board of satellites, aircraft, ships and ground-based mobile platforms. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), passive and bi-static radar systems offer extensive future potential. They rely on latest microwave technology and high speed data processing. AESA (Active Electronically Steered Array) antennas provide these systems with an enormous degree of operational flexibility. With passive radiometry the field of remote sensing disposes of a "silent" possibility of observation.
Besides radar, mainly laser and infrared systems are preparing for future applications, both as stand-alone sensors or in sensor-fused configurations. In the field of optronics a wide variety of reconnaissance applications will be covered based on very sophisticated sensors and image processing capabilities. The transition of more and more airborne missions from manned to unmanned platforms (UAV, Unmanned Airborne Vehicle) requires multiple sensors specifically matched to this new environment, i.e. highly miniaturized and intelligent systems. In the commercial field, future generations of automobiles, as an example, will be supplied with a variety of sensors to enhance traveling safety.
The seminar offers design engineers as well as potential users a comprehensive insight into technology and abilities of future sensor systems covering a steadily increasing field of employment.
