Technical resources
The department relies on on a unique set of major resources:
- HYCAM (radar testing and signature measurement platform) and MEDYCIS (flickering targets measurement) ground radars
- SETHI and RAMSES-NG airborne radars (associated with their PAMELA SAR processing workshop)
- BUSARD light airborne platform
- HF skywave (NOSTRADAMUS) and surface wave (ROS) radar mockups
- Passive radar resources
- Non-conventional radar measurement resources (detection through walls, in the ground or in vegetation)
- Modular wideband measurement platform for the mobile propagation channel
- High-frequency tropospheric propagation channel measurement stations
- Materials characterization test benches (CAREM, ROCAMAT)
- Anechoic chambers for stealth (CAMERA, BABI) and antennas
- Mode-stirred reverberation chambers and other EMC facilities (EMIR method)
The DEMR also has a wide range of original methods and advanced software for the modelling and simulation of EM scenes (sensors, observed objects, environment and all kinds of associated interactions):
- Different tools for resolving Maxwell equations and factoring problems (AME workshop)
- Asymptotic radar modelling (FERMAT code, with Oktal-SE)
- Electromagnetic topology (CRIPTE code, Power Balance method, etc.)
- Antenna or radome modelling tools, for studying radio propagation
- Radar simulation workshop
- SISTAR software: SImulator of the Space-Time behavior of the tropospheric propagation channel for Application to Radiocommunications (ONERA-CNES co-property)
- Software calculating terrestrial propagation (ground, stretches of water) via the Parabolic Equation mode (EPEE, Simu-RF, SWARS)
- Library of propagation models implementing the recommendations of the ITU-R (series P.)
