NATO SET Sensors & Electronics Technology

This document provides an overview of Belgium's involvement in NATO Science and Technology (SET) related to sensors and electronics. Dr. Ir. Marijke Vandewal from the Royal Military Academy highlights key participation areas, including various focus groups such as Radar Frequency Technology and Optical Technology. Recent and ongoing activities, alongside specific projects like thermal hyperspectral phenomenology and THz wave technology for military applications, are discussed. The document also notes conferences, international collaborations, and the need for improved visibility regarding Belgian contributions.

  1. NATO SETSensors & Electronics Technology Marijke Vandewal Royal Military Academy 16 Feb 2011

  2. Overview of the Belgian participation to SET • Belgian voting member: Dr Ir Marijke Vandewal (RMA) • Other Panel members: Prof. Emmanuel VAN LIL (KUL) Prof. Jacques VERLY (Ulg) • Participation to RTG and ET

  3. Main focus groups of SET Panel SET Radar Frequency Technology Focus Group Multi-Sensors & Electronics Focus Group Optical Technology Focus Group • Ongoing activities • Technology watch list

  4. BE participation in ET • SET-ET-072 “Thermal Hyperspectral Phenomenology and Exploitation” Michal Shimoni (TBC)

  5. BE participation in RTG • SET-124 “THz Wave Technology for Standoff Detection of Explosives and other Military & Security Applications” Ended in Dec 2010 (waiting for final report) • SET-143 “Radar and Infrared Synergy for Military Situation Awareness" Alexander Borghgraef (RMA) • SET-144 “Mitigation of Ship Electro-Optical Susceptibility Against Conventional and Asymmetric Threats” Fabian Lapierre (RMA) • SET-145 “High Resolution Space-Borne SAR systems for Geospatial Intelligence” Dirk Borghys (RMA)

  6. BE participation in RTG • SET-147 “Microsatellites and Surveillance of Space” Col Erwin Duhamel (ESA) • SET-164 “Advanced Modeling and System Applications for Passive Radar Sensor” Lt Virginie Kubica (RMA) • SET-167 “Navigation Sensors and Systems in GNSS denied environments” Prof. Alain Muls (RMA)

  7. Interesting conferences • SET-116 / RLS “Low Cost Navigation Sensors and Integration Technology” (4-5 April 2011, Italy) • SET-157 / RLS “Multisensor Fusion: Advanced Methodology and Applications (6-7 June 2011, Portugal) • SET-172 / RLS”Radar Automatic Target Recognition and Non-Cooperative Target Detection” (7-8 July 2011, UK)

  8. Next SET PBM The 26th – Fall 2010 meeting took place in Greece 13-15 October 2010 in conjunction with the SM SET-160 on "NCI/ATR in Air, Ground and Maritime Applications based on Radar and Acoustics". The 27th – Spring 2011 meeting will take place in Denmark 6-8 June 2011 in conjunction with the SM SET-175 “Countering Improvised Explosive Devices in a Long-Term Perspective”.

  9. Radar Frequency Technology FG

  10. Optical Technology FG

  11. Multi-Sensors & Electronics FG

  12. NATO SET If enough supporting countries: start of an Exploratory Team Top-Down Subject proposed by other SET Panel member Subject communicated through SET Panel member at Panel Business Meeting Subject communicated within nations Belgian Defense Study will kick-off Existing Belgian Defense Study within proposed subject Bottom-Up

  13. NATO SET Why bother participating a SET-XX? • International collaborations • Collaboration with Americans • Possibility of organizing measurement campaigns (up to 25 k€ per campaign fundable by NATO) • “Easy” administrative procedure • Interesting Lecture Series on specific topics

  14. General Comments - High amount of information during PBM - Need to create better overview of BEL participation in SET activities - How to contact other universities/get overview of their participation Niches • - LIDAR systems and signal processing • - Fusion of LIDAR with other sensors • - Build-up of knowledge by End-of-Study Work • - Need for a new niche?

  15. Questions ?
