This workshop has vividly demonstrated that Singapore is progressing well on topics related to newconcepts of radar, thanks to its French partners, not only in terms of research but also in terms of transition to R&D, as shown by the completion of the CARGESE antenna (see photo). Airborne antennas system CARGESE, emblematic of the active cooperation between ONERA and DSO within SONDRA
In view of the combat air capability development cycles, it is necessary to assess the means of defense to be implemented by 2030, to anticipate the evolution of threats and newconcepts of use. The trend is towards a significant improvement in the performance of radars and air defense missiles, their networking and their proliferation
These calculations, accomplished with the ONERA elsA platform software, allow new design concepts and shape optimization of the various elements of the aircraft (the rotor blades in particular). Thanks to these tests and the CFD results, the global architecture of a civil tilt-rotor aircraft has been validated
Long-term collaborations will be developed, for example with MBDA and SNECMA (now SAFRAN), in the field of turbojets (high temperature materials, modeling of internal engine flows), or with SOFRADIR (characterization and development of new detector concepts infrared). In addition, to meet the needs of the Armée de l'Air, ONERA created in 1992 a center in Salon de Provence, devoted to research and teaching activities in the fields of radar, optronics and flight mechanics
ONERA develops many software platforms that enable its engineers to test product concepts or optimise them... It regularly selects machines with cutting-edge performance, to enable its personnel to conduct their studies and to develop new software suited to new architectures
