Light ceramics Based on Boron Phosphide for Ballistic Applications – CAPBAB
The objective of this project is to develop ballistic protections that would be made of very low-density ceramics based on boron phosphides. The intrinsic performances (i.e. hardness, mechanical resistance) of these latter would be improved compared to metallic materials or structural ceramics. This
New miniature antennas concepts based on innovative self-biased ferrites for multi-functions and circular polarization applications – CONTACT
The CONTACT project is part of the context of a very significant increase in the integration density of electronic systems for communications, localisation or surveillance equipment. This requires the design of antennas which must be both miniature and multifunctional since they have to be able to m
Reverberant and Virtually Anechoic Environment in a Chaotic Vibrating EM Chamber – CHAOTIQ
The CHAOTIQ project proposes the theoretical and experimental study of chaotic vibrating reverberation chambers (CVRC) (generally called VIRC in the literature) made of a metallic tent attached on a light frame. This low-cost test facility (compared to existing faradized enclosures) has the advantag
On-board fluidic cooling systems enhanced by EHD pumping – SYRCAPE
Driven by innovative and miniaturization needs for future missiles and smart ammunitions, the thermal management of on-board electronics will have to overcome some of the drawbacks related by traditional cooling solutions currently used in such systems. Based on microsystem technologies, new solutio
Millimeter-wave Explosive Taggant vapors Investigations using Spectral taxonomy – METIS
At a time when terrorist threats have continued to grow, researchers have worked to develop several innovative sensors where the combined research of sensitivity and selectivity has been favored. With regard to the detection of explosives, a difficulty concerns the great diversity of the available c
Electronically reconfigurable transmitarrays antennas for SATCOM ground stations at Ka-band – ARTIKA
ARTIKA is an industrial research project (as defined by ANR) aiming at making major innovations in modelling, optimization and demonstration of ultra-flat electronically reconfigurable transmitarray (TA) antennas for SATCOM ground terminals and the Internet of Space (IoS) at Ka band. Considering the
Optical resonator with ultra-high quality factor for high spectral purity microwave signals generation – ROLLMOPS
The consortium Thales R&T (TRT-Fr), LAAS, Institute Fresnel and IRMAR aims to go beyond the actual technological limits in the domain of phase-noise performances of microwave reference signals generated by optoelectronic oscillators (OEO) devices, in order to answer to the actual needs in telecommun
Assessment of the effect of a repetitive laser spike on a supersonic blunt body. – Perche2
This proposal involves the « Laser Spike » concept which uses femtosecond laser filaments to produce linear energy deposition upstream of a supersonic body. First, this study addresses the topic of supersonic commercial air transport, in the context of the so called “low-boom” supersonic aircrafts.
Self Healing cast cured energetic materials – MECA
Modern ammunitions such as bombs, penetrators, torpedo warheads, missile warheads of all sizes and some large calibre shells now contain cast cured PBX (Plastic Bonded eXplosive) formulations. Cast cured PBX formulations consist of explosive solid fillers coated with a polymeric binder. Depending on
Algebraic cryptanalysis for post-quantum cryptography – POSTCRYPTUM
Among well-established techniques in cryptanalysis, algebraic attacks are methods to describe the scheme as a system of polynomial equations, and consequently reduce its security to the hardness of solving the associated system. The POSTCRYPTUM project aims at designing efficient algebraic attacks,
Biomimetic control of prosthesis using residual movements and contextual information – CoBioPro
Upper limb amputation is a serious trauma for an injured soldier as for a civilian. This is a type of accident that is unfortunately frequent for soldiers in the field, but which is also encountered in civilians, with a total amount of upper limb amputated people in France estimated between 8000 and
Evaluation of broad-spectrum antiviral compounds against hemorrhagic fever viruses – FHeTALS
Emergence of viral pathogens is a serious public health problem. Some highly pathogenic RNA viruses provoke severe and sometimes fatal human diseases called viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF). These viruses are of strategic relevance for the French nation. They can potentially emerge in some French terr
design and fabrication of a SWIR focal plane array from nanocrystals – NITquantum
The NITquantum project aims to design a new generation of low-cost infrared sensor operating in the short-wave infrared (1.7 µm cut off wavelength). The goal is to use narrow band gap nanocrystals as building block. Compared to current materials used for infrared sensing the change of material reduc
