Belgium: Flemish Region

Overview

Research for defense and security

Photorealistic aerial images, high-precision measurements of satellite orbits, a look beneath the Earth's surface,  air surveillance through the utilization of TV and radio stations – just a few examples of the remarkable capabilities of radar. Due to its unique capabilities – independence from weather and daylight, long-range, high sensitivity to range rate changes and the generation of high resolution images – radar is now an indispensable tool for military and civilian applications.

The Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR has focused on the fine-tuning of existing radar systems and the development of groundbreaking new radar technology for over 50 years and has therefore shaped the history of radar for more than half of the time that has passed since it was first patented by Christian Hülsmeyer in 1904.

The Institute

The Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR develops concepts, methods and… State-of-the-art technology

With its space observation radar TIRA, comprehensive facilities for analog and digital printed circuit board technology, measurement capability into the terahertz range, several anechoic chambers, vehicles equipped with radar systems and an ultra-light aircraft for airborne radar surveillance the institute offers excellent possibilities not only for developing modern electromagnetic sensor systems, but also for training technical and scientific personnel.
