PCL Focus Days

In the tradition of the bi-annual PCL Focus Days you are invited to submit a contribution. It will be two day event bringing together armed forces, research institutes, and industries.

 

Scope

Enhancing air, ground and maritime surveillance by passive radar sensors is a promising approach for many security and surveillance operations. The focus of this event is to bring experts of bistatic and passive radar systems together to share experiences obtained through theoretical studies, modeling or experimentation and to explore the state-of-the-art in development of such techniques. It will enable a technology readiness assessment and provide a decision base of future implementation plans. This PCL Focus Days will foster the investigations and the development of such future-oriented systems and will provide synergetic effects for the different member states. It will reveal the state-of-the-art in PCL and PET techniques and will also act as a basis for possible future activities.
