Quantum Systems – a leading European manufacturer of AI-powered ISR systems for defense, public safety, and industry, and the Fraunhofer-Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR), one of Europe’s leading research centers for radar and high-frequency technologies, announced their strategic partnership at today’s Wachtberg Forum.
This collaboration marks a significant step in the development and integration of state-of-the-art high-frequency and radar components into Quantum Systems’ UAV platforms. As part of a joint research and technology study with the German Armed Forces Technical Center 81, the integration of an innovative mmW-SAR sensor (millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radar) into the Trinity Pro platform is being tested. This sensor was developed at FHR. This technology enables weather-independent, high-resolution radar imaging with synthetic aperture, thereby significantly expanding the platform’s ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) sensor capabilities.
The partnership also opens possibilities for future cooperation in the areas of radar signal processing, radio detection, interference-resistant radar, and electronic countermeasures. Signature measurement and radar cross section (RCS) will also be crucial for the further development of these technologies. Quantum Systems also plans to set up a research and development office in Rheinbach near Bonn, in close proximity to Fraunhofer FHR, in order to further develop its expertise in the field of RF (radio frequency) and radar sensor technology.
