Researcher / Scientist - Hardware development for airborne sensors
Fraunhofer FHR in Wachtberg near Bonn is part of the large Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and one of the leading and largest European research institutes in the field of high frequency physics and radar technology with one of the world's most powerful space observation radars.
The Backend and Experimental Systems (BE) department designs and operates innovative millimeter-wave systems in the frequency range between 10 GHz and 300 GHz. The main research topics include the conceptualization and realization of high-performance experimental radars as well as the development of corresponding backends based on FPGA including hardware-related operating software.
For the publicly funded joint project "RadarRescue", we work together with interdisciplinary project partners on an airborne sensor unit for detecting people in dangerous situations for use in disaster control. Past natural disasters clearly showed the difficulties in the reconnaissance of large-scale emergencies. Airborne reconnaissance, in particular, can effectively observe large areas and provide seamless information that is quickly available to the emergency responders to aid in decision-making.
Our goal with this project is to provide an operational drone system for use by the civil defence organizations such as firefighters and police.
