The issue of rapid global urbanization is seriously affecting all ecological systems, imposing new forms of mobility, production and distribution methods. Automotive and robotics are major segments of the industry that are today concerned with these important upheavals. The objective of this program

The three-year ALALPHA project is an industrial research project combining the skills of an academic partner, the Bordeaux Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry, with those of an industrial partner, SAFRAN. This project focuses on the development of alternative processes capable of obtaining the a

Early detection of missile firing, intelligence and greenhouse gas monitoring are major defense and civil challenges of our century. All share in common the need for infrared imagers embedded on satellites. Performances of those systems come from cryogenic cooling of sensors. The need for constant m

In order to improve short-term lightning forecasting systems and storm early warning systems, the project work is on the one hand the development of a new concept of miniature electrostatic field sensor, for which a patent was recently filed, and on the other hand the development of data fusion algo

In the framework of the previous Astrid Mhica project (2019-2023) two types of original dynamic experiments were developed: on the one hand ballistic impact tests of API-BZ projectile cores on ceramic/composite bi-layer targets were conducted in a sarcophagus configuration. These tests led to an ana

Free space optical telecommunications in the infrared range represent an increasingly attractive alternative to the progressive saturation of channels dedicated to wireless technologies and the growing need for bandwidth. However, this promising technology, rapidly deployable, is vulnerable to weath

Haemorrhage is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the military in combat. Currently, most patients receive blood components (red blood cells, platelets, plasma) rather than whole blood. Whole blood has the advantage of simplifying resuscitation logistics, providing physiological ratio

The aim of the BELIEVE project (BattErie fiLaire pour Integration tExtile innoVantE) is to create a power bank or external battery that is entirely woven. Its aim is to meet the power requirements of various smart textile projects. For a military application: physiological monitoring during operatio

The design of a radome is challenging because the performance criteria of the materials and the used technologies are generally not in accordance. That’s why the design must be optimized in order to satisfy the competing parameters. The design process is a compromise between electromagnetic transpar

The development and shaping of structural components as well as their assembly generate significant residual stress fields in the structures. These stresses are superimposed on the in-service loads and have an influence on structures fatigue durability and buckling. When these residual stresses are

With scientific and technological advances, our world is becoming more complex. In particular, operators, who benefit from these advances, are faced with increasingly sophisticated tasks. Despite advances in automation and artificial intelligence, humans still play an essential role in managing and

Critical embedded systems are subject to time and security guarantee requirements, while requiring significant computing power that can only be offered by multicore processors. Off-the-shelf processors meet the performance requirements but do not provide the necessary safety and security guarantees,

This project focuses on the assessment of genotoxic and membrane effects of radiofrequency waves on 3D multicellular models of microtissues thanks to the development of a metrology ensuring the calibrated and systematized conditions of application of electromagnetic fields. RF microdevices, which al

The TNT-Sensor-IA project aims in designing of a new generation of multiplexed array microsensors integrating a metamaterials whose porosity can be spatially programmed. Such a direct laser writing approach associates the latest advances in multiphoton stereolithography (SLA) with those in the artif

The sensitive and accurate measurement of magnetic fields is useful for many applications, including geophysical studies, measurement of biomagnetic signals, navigation, event monitoring or detection of magnetic anomalies. In this context, atomic magnetometers offer a particularly promising modalit

The recent use of slippery surfaces such as super hydrophobic and liquid-infused surfaces have demonstrated remarkable properties in reducing flow separation around bluff and slender bodies, modifying the separation of the boundary layer and the dynamics of the recirculation region. However, designi

Autonomous Robotic Systems are becoming ubiquitous in modern society. They are revolutionizing how a wide range of security, commercial, and environmental monitoring applications are undertaken. Because these applications tend to involve a multitude of AR vehicles that perform multiple tasks in vari

The use of organophosphorus chemical warfare nerve agents (NOPs) has renewed great concerns worldwide since their recent use in Syria (sarin), and in England and Russia where new NOPs were applied (Skripal and Navalny cases). The chemical threat has also regained scientific interest to develop new a

The CBRN threat that certain states or terrorist groups regularly plan is a reality that countries like France are facing and for which they must provide a response. A similar issue arises in the area of food and environment safety, as states need to ensure that their citizens consume healthy food a

Society as a whole is making increasing use of electronic systems in the broad sense, but also particularly robotics, whether in the context of connected objects, home automation or industrial production. But the drive towards this robotisation of our society is also affecting the armies, which are

The development of resistance to current antibiotics and antiparasitics is a real public health issue. Multi-resistance is particularly worrying in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from nosocomial infections such as P. aeruginosa, enterobacteria (E. coli, K. pneumoniae). Resistance to highly virulent

The CoMéCA project aims at modeling the mechanical behavior of carbon-based thermal protection systems with aerospace and defense applications. These multi-scale materials are made of complex architectures of carbon fibers and matrices, which both derive from graphite, yet being heavily disordered.

The market for industrial mixers is driven by many industrial sectors, like the food and pharmaceutical industries in the forefront, but also the aeronautics and armament industries. The objective of the various players is to supply equipment that makes it possible to obtain, from at least two mater

The SWIM project aims to develop and bring to TRL 3 two spin-wave based radio frequency (RF) devices: a delay line and a power limiter. The project is part of a longer-term strategy of the consortium to exploit recent advances in magnonics, to realize new RF analog functionalities (filter, phase shi

In the ocean, the distribution of communities is largely influenced by light. This area of the ocean between 200 and 1000 m deep, where sunlight hardly penetrates anymore. The importance of this area in the functioning of the ocean is major, it has a key role in the carbon cycle by absorbing part of

The control of unsteady aerodynamic forces is crucial for the aeronautical and defense industries as it would allow to improve the performance, safety and reliability of aerodynamic systems. This can be done, from the design stage, by optimizing the system, which will improve the reliability for cri

The COMEFai project aims to understand the mechanisms of oxidation during atmospheric re-entry of composite materials with ultra-refractory ceramic matrix. Materials are used in severe environments under high flux (oxidation, matter, thermal, etc.) whether for space applications (rocket, space shutt
