CONDITIONS
MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS IN
URBAN AND METROPOLITAN TO BE
DEPLOYED IN EMERGENCY PHASE
Research should focus on Data and
Information Fusion - Automatic
network reconfi guration
Research should focus on Vulnerability
modelling and analysis and
interoperability issues, including
semantic interoperability to ensure
that diff erent C2 systems can exchange
information
Research should focus on:
Standardised adaptive systems for
diff erent radio networks.
NEC concepts.
Broadband satellite communications
infrastructure.
Satellite based observation
systems and telecommunication
infrastructure.
Space Situational Awareness and
Signal Intelligence
Research should focus on Technologies
for both radars and EW (electronic
warfare) systems as well as multisensor
fusion.
Research should focus on:
Software reconfi gurable sensors,
Dynamic frequency management,
Co-existence and eff ective
interference suppression of RF
systems,
Adaptive beam forming,
Wideband antennas,
Waveform generators,
Power amplifi ers,
Wideband high dynamic range
receivers,
Adaptive sensor management,
Prediction of target behaviour and
intent.
