Technical assistance with Defence R&D programmes, such as the F110’s Radar and Electronic Warfare Technology Programmes, assistance with international R&D programmes and with R&D programmes in the areas of ISR and RPAS.
Collaboration in developing a tool that is primarily intended to assist intelligence operators (CESAEROB) with tasks involving the use of SAR images to detect and identify maritime targets. The system support several SAR products from different acquisition platforms (Sentinel-1, TerraSAR and the future PAZ), and can also process AIS data available in CESAEROB. This operation tool automatically merges both information sources and generates reports on events that can be of interest in the area of defence and security. It also features an assistant for downloading Sentinel-1 products that makes use of the ESA’s Copernicus server.
Involvement in systems engineering, design, integration, AIV, AIT, testing campaigns, operating and evaluation campaigns, planetary protection of the instrument.
