Project goals:
The main goal of the research and development project titled „Sensors, sensor systems for defence and security applications“ was a design and development of experimental sensor systems for detection and eventually localization of security threats based on the MEMS seismic, MEMS acoustic, and magnetic sensors, and also on radiometers.
The project also dealt with the evaluation of designed sensor systems properties within the laboratory and field experiments.
The main part of experiments involved a detection and feature extraction concerning vehicles and personnel, small arms fire, and explosions.
The last part of the project consisted of analysis of experimental results, discussions and recommendations for Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance and security applications of investigated sensor systems.

Project goals:
SAVELEC (EU 7 frame program) aims to provide a solution for the external, safe control of a non cooperative vehicle without any consequences on the persons inside the vehicle or other persons and objects nearby.
The proposed solution is based on the use of electromagnetic means, electromagnetic pulses (EMP) and high power microwaves (HPM), in order to disrupt the proper behaviour of the electronic components inside the vehicle, which will lead it to slow down and stop.

Ciele projektu: Vybudovanie systému pre monitorovanie priestorov letiska potenciálne nebezpečných pre letovú prevádzku s cieľom zamedziť stretom lietadiel a vrtuľníkov s vtákmi. Výstupnou informáciou vytvoreného monitorovacieho systému založeného na báze radarových senzorov sú údaje o pohybe vtáctva v priestoroch letiska a na letových cestách.
V rámci riešenia projektu sú analyzované detekčné možnosti radarových senzorov pracujúcich v rôznych frekvenčných pásmach pre kategóriu malých objektov. Projekt je realizovaný v rámci plánovanej výstavby mobilných jednotiek ochrany letísk.
