Future Launcher Avionic Programme (FLAP)

This project aims to develop know-how and technologies for launch vehicles, in the domain of GNC and next-generation avionics, with the objective to achieve a functional validation of integrated technologies.

 

Highly Operable Sensor Network (HOSN)

This project focuses on sensing nodes development (powered by energy harvesting technologies). The nodes are conceived to be used on-ground, during storage, pre-launch phase, and  during  ascent/in orbit phases, e.g.  Launcher staging to allow communication between stages after separation. 

 

 

 

 

Nanotough

This project aims is to develop new materials (polyolefin nano-composites) with improved properties with respect to the engineering polymer ABS. 

 

Multi-Radio

The project aims to define and prototype a multi-radio communication platform capable of using, in cognitive and opportunistic mode, heterogeneous wireless communication technologies for monitoring and control of complex systems for industrial and aerospace markets.
