Direction finder Saab Sensor Compact

16.05.2022

Saab has developed a mobile electronics module, the Sensor Compact, which is able to monitor airborne threats and still go unnoticed.

Sirius Compact is a device belonging to the class of technology for electronic warfare (EW). It allows you to create an entire passive network to monitor threats, increase situational awareness and support operations at all tactical levels.

The sensors detect electromagnetic emissions from enemy vehicles, evaluate their power and classify data transmission channels, while remaining invisible to enemy direction finders due to the absence of outgoing signals.

Specifications Sensor Compact:

Height: 30 cm
Diameter: 14 cm
Weight: about 3 kg
Power: 50 W
Frequency Range: 2-11;18GHz
Interfaces: Ethernet, 18-28 V DC
Azimuth coverage: 360°
DF accuracy: < 2° RMS
Geolocation using triangulation
Digital channel receiver
Positioning: built-in IMU/GNSS

Small size and autonomy allow you to quickly install the Sensor Compact on a tripod right on the battlefield, they can also be placed on drones, cars, ships and other vehicles. By moving the sensors or combining the data of several of them, you can establish the exact position of objects using triangulation. The system will warn in advance of approaching targets, which is especially important in the work of ground-based air defense.

Sensor Compact do not store confidential data, which eliminates information leakage if the device is lost.

"Operating in the electromagnetic spectrum of today's battlefield is an ever-changing challenge. The need to remain undetected in the deployment and use of electronic warfare was at the forefront of the development of the Sirius Compact," commented Karl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab's surveillance division.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

Scientists succeeded in synthesizing a decanter 26.05.2022

For more than a decade, various groups of scientists have tried with varying degrees of success to synthesize a new material, a form of carbon called graphyne, which is similar in many ways to the well-known graphene. And only recently, researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder have developed a technique that allows you to perform the synthesis of a carafe with a guarantee of the result. This achievement will allow in the near future to more thoroughly study the properties of the decanter, which has prospects for its use in the fields of electronics, optics, nanotechnology, etc.

In nature, there are several ways in which carbon atoms can bond with each other and form different forms of carbon, allotropes. According to the possibilities of creating chemical bonds, carbon hybrids are designated as sp2, sp3 and sp. For example, the most common graphite is sp2 carbon, while the less common diamond is sp3 carbon.

However, the existing methods of chemical synthesis make it possible to synthesize carbon allotropes consisting of one type of hybrid atoms without any problems. This is exactly how graphene, fullerene and some other carbon materials were obtained at one time. Getting a carafe, a material in which there are different types of carbon atoms and carbon bonds, turned out to be a very, very difficult matter, and until recently only a few tiny particles of this material were obtained.

The University of Colorado scientists who synthesized the carafe are working towards what is known as reverse chemistry, complex chemical reactions that produce molecular structures and crystal lattices of a given type, such as synthetic polymers from DNA-like molecules. And the scientists decided to try to apply all their experience to try to synthesize a decanter.

After some theoretical research, the scientists decided to use a process called alkyne metathesis. This process is based on an organic chemical reaction, which entails the redistribution, reduction and transformation of alkyne bonds. By calculating the thermodynamics of the process with high precision and providing control over the kinetics of the chemical reaction, scientists were able to successfully synthesize the carafe, and in such a form that it had never been possible to synthesize before.

Having received a workable technology for the synthesis of a decanter and the first samples of the material, scientists are going to continue working towards ensuring large-scale industrial production. In parallel with this, research will be carried out on the properties of the obtained samples and methods for controlling the properties of the material using external influences of various kinds.
