INTERACT communication synergy with CROWN project

The INTERACT PADR project team expands its network by establishing a communication collaboration (synergy) with the CROWN PADR project. In the framework of this synergy, cross communication activities will be made aiming to promote both projects’ news and results to a wider audience.

About CROWN PADR project

CROWN (European active electronically scanned array with Combined Radar, cOmmunications, and electronic Warfare fuNctions for military applications) received funding for the Research Action call on the topic “Electromagnetic Spectrum Dominance” under the European Union’s Preparatory Action on Defence Research (PADR). The project has a duration of 30 months.

CROWN will address research and technological development activities to go a step further in the development of European next-generation multifunction radiofrequency (RF) system mainly for airborne surveillance platforms based on Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) technology capable of integrating radar, electronic warfare and communications functions into a single compact and lightweight item of equipment. The project makes a significant contribution towards building European industrial defence capability and ensuring industrial independence.

The planned activities of the project include R&D assessment and recommendations on critical technologies, R&T activities on system and component level as well as designing, manufacturing and testing of a small-scale prototype.

CROWN is led by Indra Sistemas S. A. (Spain), and the consortium of the project encompasses a total  of 11  participants  from  7  countries.
