Fraunhofer FHR participates in the conference with a variety of technical presentations and posters.

After three successful years of establishment, FMD is moving into the operational phase. Under the motto: "Impulsgeber FMD: Angebot & Potenzial - Köpfe & Know-how" the offer of FMD as a one-stop-shop will be presented to industry and research partners on 22 April 2021.

Machine Learning approaches, especially neural networks, give State-of-the-Art results in several computer vision tasks. This presentation shows two applications of neural networks to radar data. The first one is the detection of persons and drones with a surveillance radar. The second one is the classification of radar targets using convolutional neural networks. The latter part focuses on the robustness of these networks, i.e. which part of the input data is relevant for classification and how to avoid fooling.

Passive radars are a powerful tool to detect and image targets with no requirements for dedicated transmitting segments. In particular, DVB-S satellites represent an interesting choice for passive maritime targets imaging, assuring a permanent coverage over remote areas, even off-shore. This presentation shows the passive receiver SABBIA developed at Fraunhofer FHR, the applied radar techniques and the results achieved within a cooperation with the University of Rome „La Sapienza“.

Fraunhofer FHR is once again proud to organise and host the PCL Focus Days. 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.

Pedestrians, cyclists, public transport or cars – city traffic can get complex. A new radar based sensor system can warn drivers as soon as a person starts walking towards the street and make infrastructure safer. The system was developed in close cooperation of Fraunhofer IVI, IIS and FHR coordinated by the CCIT cluster. In the online seminar the technology behind the project is presented, validation results are shown and perspective are given for further research. A live demonstration will complete the presented results.

In July 2021, Fraunhofer FHR will host the 12th International Summer School on Radar/SAR. Get deep insights into radar and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques from international experts while connecting with new and renowned members of the radar community!

Whether as a specialist, scientist, student assistant, intern, for your dissertations or doctoral thesis - gain practical experience during your studies and set a milestone in your scientific career at one of the largest radar research institutes in Europe. Fraunhofer FHR develops radar systems from concept to finished prototype. They are used for quality assurance in industry, on various vehicles, for the observation of near-earth space and for environment, defence and security. At Fraunhofer FHR, students of electrical engineering, physics and mathematics are most frequently in demand.
