4. Success to date
• superior data rate compared
with the state-of-the-art
• particularly suitable for size
weight and power (SWAP)
systems
• real time demonstrator in
controlled environment

5. What next?
• integration with enhanced communication
protocols (eg Long Term Evolution - LTE)
• TRL 6 demonstration in relevant
environment

6. We’re looking for…
• partnership with companies interested to
market this innovation
• license the concept
Our aim is to see the technology exploited in
the wider set of applications that radar will
have in the coming decades
