CROWN PADR Project

CROWN will lay the foundation for designing and building a next-generation multifunction radiofrequency (RF) system based on Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) technology for a broad range of applications, to become available in several military domains within the next decade. The project makes a significant contribution towards building European industrial defense capability and ensuring industrial independence. The planned activities 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 - European active electronically scanned array with Combined Radar, cOmmunications, and electronic Warfare fuNctions for military applications - brings together 11 leading industry members, research centres and an SME from 7 EU countries: Indra (Spain), Thales (France), Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aerospatiales - ONERA (France), Hensoldt Sensors (Germany), Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques - FHR (Germany), Saab (Sweden), Totalforsvarets Forskningsinstitut - FOI (Sweden) Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek - TNO (Netherlands), Leonardo (Italy), Elettronica (Italy) and Baltic Institute of Advanced Technology - BPTI (Lithuania). CROWN Project has received funding from the European Union’s Preparatory Action on Defence Research under grant agreement No 882407. This presentation reflects only the author’s view.
