The key research facilities maintained by the radar and EW area such as Fynmeet,
Enigma, MecORT, SEWES and Static are used to provide measurement
and interpretation and system evaluation services. Modelling
and simulation and analysis also play a key role in providing
services to predict and analyse the performance and behaviour
of radar and EW systems. It is important to note that the
key research facilities play a significant role as research
vehicles in the longer term programmes providing data from
measurement campaigns, as well as a platform for the testing
of new radar and EW concepts. These facilities give the
radar and EW area a unique value proposition both in the
local and global research community.
Fynmeet is a microwave measurement sensor, capable
of performing radar cross section (RCS), Chaff and Jammer
power measurements over the frequency range of 6,5 to 17,5
GHz on aircraft, decoys and emitters, under dynamic conditions
(i.e. flying).
MeCort is an X-band monopulse pulse-Doppler radar
and electro-optical tracking laboratory. The radar is built
into a number of containers that can be deployed in the
field. Its advanced data display, capture and analysis capability
makes it ideal for advanced radar and electro-optical research.
Enigma is an electronic warfare hardware-in-the-loop
simulator system. The simulator is based on high resolution
digital frequency memory (DRFM) technology developed at
the CSIR.
