Project B
Corrosion Control
forNavy Ships
CCNS
The increase of military objectives combined with the impact of
environmental regulations lead to acritical situation characterized by a
significant risk upon operational availability and runningcosts forNavy
ships in terms of corrosion and surface protec on.
In addition, there is arequirementto extendrepairintervals to 6-10years
in orderto:
- reduce maintenance levels,
- reduce the runningcosts,
- maintain the shipsecurity,
- comply with environmental regulations (REACHdirective, Biocides
directive, Volatile OrganicContent…)
The CCNS Project is targetedatconsideringnew approaches andsolutions fordefininginparticularthe
adaptedconditions basedmaintenance. Inorder
This project is divided into three main technical topics:
A- Corrosion and foulinginseawaterpiping systems (copperalloys, stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium);
B- CathodicProtection Optimization;
C- ImprovingPerformance of Protective Coatings.

b)reduc onof manufacturingcosts forballis cinserts; and
c)improvedballis cperformance (increased mul -hit performance)
comparedto state of the art materials. The ballisticefficiency of the new
ceramicmaterials will be comparedand relatively rankedto agreed
reference by astandard DoP (depth of penetration) technique.
The Projectwill focus on the developmentof ceramicmaterials forpersonal protection. This will be achieved
bysubstantial improvement of the ballisticperformance of currently usedceramics by appropriate designof
microstructures and by use of new and rapid manufacturing methods for consolidation.

communications, electronicsurveillance and the targettingof munitions.
The projectestablished arobustsetof requirements forthree differenttypes of antennas.These
requirements outlined the limitations of currentantennasand considered possible applications of new
materials and designs, focusingparticularly on benefits foraeronautical platforms.

repairs of metal and
composite aircraft
structures
PATCHBOND
A betterrepairmethod is the application of adhesive bondedcomposite
patches insteadof bolted plates. This methodis already used forsecondary
structures but is notaccepted by the airworthiness authorities forthe
repairof primary structures. Therefore boltless repairmethods forprimary
composite structures have to be developed thatare compliantwith the
airworthiness requirements
The projectfocuses on the boltfree repairof aerospace primary structures usingcomposite patches bonded
to the damaged area. The primary structures are composedout of metal orcomposite materials. The goal is
to investigate anddefine materials and repairprocesses thatare capable of repairingthe structure to comply
with the required operational capability. Permanent and fast temporarily repairsolutions that canbe used
forba le and opera onal damage repairs, will be inves gated.

Suchrepairs will be of bene t to the operators, asboltfree repairsdo notintroduce addi onal damage

commitment forthose pMS to actually launch the project orto contribute to it.
The forward-looking milestones shown in the diagram are purely indicative.
Project objective is to develop and evaluate tools that support complex analysis in contemporary intelligence
applications by combining advanced automation and efficient collaboration between multiple analysts from
different organisations. The IN-4-STARS2.0solution will enable exploitation of correlations between large
quantities of heterogeneous information stemming from different sources, leading to increased analysis speed,

Project B
Military
Disruption
Tolerant
Networks
MIDNET
Future tactical military networks call formobile radio networks designed to bettersuitthe
needs of small units, nearerto the frontline. These networks will integrate the new
generation of mobile ad-hocnetworks which will be more and more commonly deployed in
the nextyears to come. Due to the dynamicnature of the business, radio links in the
network will go up and down with a varying time of being down. The MIDNet project aims at
studying and demonstrating the benefits of the approaches introduced in the field of
Disruption TolerantNetworking (DTN) in orderto cope with such dynamicbehaviourof the
radio network and still support the required communications.
The principal objective of the MIDNetprojectis to study and demonstrate concepts developed in the DTN
community to design technical solutions formilitary tactical networks. The project will define an appropriate
DTN architecture and will demonstrate and study the benefits it can offerin-theatre networks. Improvements in
terms of increased end-to-end throughput/delay performances, increased datarate, connectivity extension,
new services to end-users, betterrobust communications in hostile environments and secure interconnection
with exis ng networks are expected.
In out-of-area operations, various nations are using Mobile Ad-hocradio NETworks (MANETs) which provide
flexible multi-hop communications but make strong assumptions on end-to-end connectivity whereas it might
be highly disrupted. DTN communications have emerged forfew years now in the research community,
intending to overcome these disruptions. The MIDNet project will specifically study and adapt DTN concepts and
theirapplicability to military scenarios.
Afterreviewing the state of the artand definingsuitable operational reference scenarios, the project will
define amodel fora global DTN architecture and will identify the services that can be offered. Functional
requirements will specify the services that must be given by the wireless mobile ad-hocnetwork in situation of
disruption. The architecture model forDTN will then be integrated in the global architecture fortheatre
networks focusing on inter-networking and on users connected to the networks (C2systems, combat systems,
voice terminals …).
Project B
Cognitive Radio
fordynamic
Spectrum
Management
CORASMA
The spectrum management of communication systems follows the “command and control”
paradigm by assigning frequency plan fordedicated services and fora long period of time.
Despite its advantages, it has many drawbacks: the planning process becomes more and
more complex, adaptation orquick evolution of the deployment can’t be taken into
account, the interference minimization often induces aspectrum wasting due to large
frequency margins. Moreover, the demand fornew high datarate / large bandwidth
systems is growingup. The spectrum is a finite resource and theirinsertion into bandwidths
shared with legacy system will become very complicated.
The Cognitive Radio should enable a more flexible usage of the spectrum resource allowing the systems to
adapt themselves to theircontext while maintainingtheirperformance (robustness, availability, QoS…).

Project B
Biological Effects of
Radiofrequency
ElectromagneticFields
RFBIO
There is a requirement to supply data and advice to inform relevant and appropriate exposure guidelines covering all military RF sources, to fulfil the Duty of
Care to military personnel and the public. Because many of these signals are unique to military applications (e.g. electroniccountermeasures, directed energy
weapons, radars), the lack of adequate data is a problem speci cto the defence area and is not addressed by civilian research.
These requirements will be addressed by a coordinated programme of experimental studies to cover the full range of RF bioeffects research, including
modelling and benchmarks, dosimetry, cellular toxicology, animal and human studies. This programme will extend and exploit the findings of a recent
collaborative programme, ERG101.013. The work strategy is based on complementary studies which are mutually supporting to investigate a particular finding,
rather than on exact replications of other nation’s studies; an exception to this is for epidemiological studies, where there is a need to undertake studies in an
identical way to build up a large sample size. It is recognised that a mechanisticapproach is desirable whenever possible, since identification of mechanisms is
essential for science-based guidelines: for example, ICNIRP and the IEEEstandard are based on the thermal mechanism.

Project B
Frequency Allocation for
Radars in the coming
Years
FARADAYS
The growth of activities in the area of civil communications, the emergence of new technologies and new services involving a strong demand for spectrum
allocation (e.g. RLAN, WiMax, UWB communications etc.) in different wavelengths induces a very strong pressure upon the frequency channels currently
allocated to radars.
In parallel, the military needs are in evolution, for example the military benefits linked to the use of lower frequencies in radar, like HF or V/UHF, create new
needs for frequency alloca ons to radioloca on services in the lower bands of the spectrum.
Some actions have already been undertaken at a national level to address both aspects. However it appears necessary to initiate a broader reflection and a
coordinated action at the European level to take into account the interests and needs of military radars at the incoming 2011and 2015WRC, and secure for
them a long term posi on in the new technical-economical environment they are now facing.
The purpose of the project will be to analyse in aprospective way the issues related to spectrum allocation and management for military radars at the horizon
2015-2020, and to provide solid arguments to defend a long las ng strategy in the coming WRCs.
The study will cover:
- a prospective analysis of future communication systems and services, and their potential impact on radar systems, in terms of performance degradation, and
possible remedies,
- an assessment of the constraints to be imposed to non-radar transmissions, in order to preserve the performance of radar systems, or to limit the impact on
them to an acceptable level (in terms of opera onal and nancial consequences),
- the investigation of innovative techniques (e.g. UWB digital waveforms, dynamicwaveform control etc.) which could allow to envisage for future approaches
in frequency sharing between services –while keeping performances at the required level,
- a synthesis on the strategy to be deployed, in order to ensure a longterm protection of radar frequency spectrum.
