Joint research by armasuisse S+T with NATO PfP research partners on reconnaissance technologies

In the week from 19 to 23 August 2024, armasuisse Science and Technology (S+T) tested the performance limits of drone-based radar systems, together with various national and international research partners as part of a NATO/PfP research campaign (Partnership for Peace). The drone-based radar systems were tested in various frequency ranges and on different drones, thus measuring their effect.

This first-time experience of being co-organiser of an international measurement campaign showed me what an enormous amount of effort is required and that you can plan everything down to the smallest detail but then it can still all turn out differently – for example, due to the weather conditions. At the end, it was very gratifying to see how, thanks to a motivated team, all the planned measurements could still be successfully performed
