In numerous domains (aeronautics, medical, military, nuclear, command-and-control), visual activity is an essential element of the expertise. Therefor, eye tracking and the study of eye movements are omnipresent in neuroscience, psychology, industrial engineering, human factors, and computer science

The ImHypAd project (Adaptive Hyperspectral Imager) will develop a new generation of hyperspectral imagers, with algorithms and strategies for the acquisition and processing of associated hyperspectral data. This new system is very flexible, offering the possibility of numerous acquisition schemes u

SPIN-IA is an interdisciplinary project which objective is to develop the foundations for an hybrid CMOS/spintronics chip accelerating Artificial Intelligence. Recently, UMPhy and C2N, with the participation from Thales, have obtained pioneer results showing that magnetic tunnel junctions can achiev

This 30 months duration project concerns the development of compact circulators for applications in the Ku band, a frequency band in which new systems for defense and space telecommunications are developed. These components, essential in transmitter/receiver (T/R) modules, are today the main shortco

Summary of the GeLeaD project proposal: Defense control systems (type C2, C4ISR)1 and civil (type SCADA, Robotics 4.0, IoT, connected vehicle,...) are exposed to cyber attacks by falsification of business data. These attacks, commonly known as FDIA - False Data Injection Attacks - are difficult to d

Bunyavirales and Arenaviridae are segmented negative strand single-stranded RNA viruses (sNSV) including many serious neglected and/or emerging human pathogens (e.g. respectively Lassa Fever (LASV), Junin (JUNV), Rift valley Fever (RVF), Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and Hantaan viruses). T

In the field of indoor localization using analysis of radio signals, the scientific publications are based on a initial step to take into account the heterogeneity aspect of this type of environment. The heterogeneity of interior environments composed of open spaces, more or less thick walls, floors

Modification of the interaction properties of a material with infrared (IR) radiation can be exploited for dual purposes. Indeed, by working on the IR absorption and reflection characteristics of a material, it is possible to: - take advantage of solar IR radiation to impact thermal comfort and ind

Practical metro-scale quantum communications and quantum networks over distances longer than a few tens of kilometres requires the use of single and/or entangled photons in commercial fibre cable and implementation of quantum relays. The deployment of quantum communication networks represents a chal

Along the last decade, the high-power microwave domain has been under dynamic development, with extremely important applications in the defense industry, social security and anti-terrorist counter-measures. In all cases the already developed pulsed power generators are currently capable of producing

The aim of this project is to produce nanothermites of controlled metal-oxide architecture and interface using efficient processes transferable to an industrial production, in order to guarantee stability of behaviors and performances and to increase reaction rates. The current approaches used in t

This project try to use the advantages of microfluidics to get a better understanding of confined and unconfined supercavitating flows. Cavitation is often thought as a drawback responsible of vibration and erosion induced by bubble collapse. However, the phenomena of supercavitation bring fundame

The lightening of the aircraft structure is one of the strong lines of research for reducing the consumption of kerosene and reducing CO2 emissions. With a density one-third lower than that of aluminum, magnesium is the lightest of structural metals. The low corrosion resistance is a major lock for

Solid granular explosives are used in a large number of applications for their ability to deliver a fast and intensive mechanical work (genie civil, mining, military applications, etc.) or to synthesize materials for which the reaction path travels through pressure and temperature ranges not accessi

The F-MARS project aims to design and fabricate multifunctional optical windows (antireflective and superhydrophobic) based on the outstanding properties of nanostructured surfaces. This research project is motivated by the very promising results obtained in the framework of the Thales/DGA PhD th

The CANODEMS project is focused on the development of a non-destructive radiofrequency (RF) characterization system able to measure electromagnetic properties of materials while being sintered or going through thermal cycling up to very high temperature (1600°C and more). The proposed system is base

Severe trauma remains a major public health problem either in civilian society or in military settings since it involves young patients with a negative impact in terms of mortality and morbidity. Hemorrhagic shock is still the first leading cause of death in severe trauma patients because of uncontr

The goal of AdvTMR is to develop a new generation of spin electronics magnetic sensors based on the combination of state of the art magnetic tunnel junctions and a method for suppressing the low frequency noise large in these devices. The targeted performances are one order to two orders of magnitud

The illegal or malicious use of unmanned aircrafts vehicles (UAVs) represents an emerging threat, which is only partially addressed by existing anti-intrusion systems. The DEEPLOMATICS project proposes an innovative and adaptive solution for the real-time identification and robust tracking of UAVs.

The Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) is a well-known optical instrument, which from a functional point of view is a coherent, wavelength-tunable source. Like the laser, it is based on an optical amplifier in a resonant cavity. Unlike the laser, it relies on a parametric amplification instead of p

This project aims to develop new decision-making technologies for AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) of the future. An important motivation of the project is drawn from the fact that current AUV technologies are still considered immature for the realization on a daily-routine basis of offshore op

Plague is a disease that has severely impacted the history of humankind during the course of three pandemics, killing millions of human beings.
