Passive Radar & Multistatics Focus Days 2021

Dear Friends,

Ordinarily the PCL Focus Days series would take place in Spring/Summer 2021 at Fraunhofer FHR in Wachtberg, Germany. However, owing to continued global lock-down measures and uncertainty surrounding travel, we have decided to organise a lunch-to-lunch virtual event.

The 2021 event has a slightly broader scope to reflect recent research activities on cooperative multistatic sensing – in addition to the flourishing core field of Passive Radar. Registration is mandatory, as participation is restricted to NATO and selected Partner countries.

The intention of this lunch-to-lunch virtual event is to bring together armed forces, research institutes, and industries who work in the area of multi-/bi-static and passive radar systems to share their experience and discuss new approaches for future systems.

As always, we look forward to your participation.

Microsoft Teams will be used as a video conference system.
