Contributing to Advances in Next Generation Radar Systems

Defence IQ’s Military Radar conference, now in its 10th year, is a firm fixture in the calendar of international military radar specialists. With a track record of attracting the key players in industry, procurement and development as well as providing feedback from military users, Military Radar 2012 is a valuable opportunity to learn about military radar systems, their integration onto platforms and their military applications.

Attend the 10th Annual Military Radar to:

• Meet military radar users and gain unique insights from the operator perspective on the latest radar systems across land, air and sea domains. Hear first hand what works, what doesn’t and how you can help meet military radar requirements
• Updates on the latest developments in radar. Gain a complete picture from t/r modules and low cost multisensors to GMTI computational linguistic methods and data fusion. Meet leading industry and research figures engaged in producing radar systems and share your solutions
• Hear the challenges of prime manufacturers with presentations from ASELSAN, Selex Galilio, Raytheon and BAE Systems. These leading contracts provide a great opportunity for Tier 2 providers from whom they source over 50 % of their components
• Gain insight into the future of military radar systems. From changing requirements and technological progress in semi-conductor materials (GaN, GaAs, Si1−xGex, InP) to advances in data processing. For the most in-depth insights take part in the workshop on Mm-Wave and MIMO Radar

DARPA looking to ultrafast lasers to create “super radar
August 2012
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has put out a call for assistance in creating an integrated network of radars through the use of ultrafast lasers, in what is being called a potential revolution for military surveillance. At present, individual ships carry radar that are invariably restricted in scope and limited in reliability, whereas the new project aims to pool all of the local radar into a single system, allowing previously unknown broad-range observation that can provide instant situational awareness to all units within the battlespace…
