Work package structure
The activity of the technical work packages is organized as follows:
WP 2 provides the identification of coastal border securing threats, the relevant stakeholders involved in border security, the use cases analysis, the state of the art and gap analysis of multistatic radar systems, the market analysis, the concept of operations and the system requirements.
WP 3 is focused on the photonic radar system setting up and testing . The system is prepared to work with three radar peripherals and over two RF bands. A series of tests on each subsystem and on the whole photonic radar system will be conducted. This will include verifying the system’s hardware and software components and evaluating the effectiveness of the system in detecting and tracking maritime targets.
System deployment at the port of Livorno
WP 4 performs a state-of-the-art analysis of the algorithms and signal processing techniques for the coherent MIMO and multistatic photonics-based radar. Numerical analyses are carried out to compare coherent and non-coherent MIMO processing in the target detection and to compare different tracking algorithms.
WP 5 tests the functionality and performance of the coherent MIMO, multistatic and multiband photonics-based radar system in field trial coastal surveillance scenario. The accuracy and reliability of the proposed signal processing techniques is validated for the field deployed radar system.
