ACS joins forces with the chair for Digital Communication Systems ACS. Our joint project “Range-Extended Radar Sensing using Flying Intelligent Surfaces“ aims to enable radar-based localization of objects in locations that are difficult to access, without the radar system itself having to fly on the UAV. Instead, a reconfigurable intelligent surface acts as a bridge for electromagnetic waves. Unlike the radar system, the surface is small, lightweight, energy-efficient, and therefore only has a small impact on the UAV flight performance.
