IRS 2018 shows the growing importance of radar for industry, security, traffic and many other areas

Abstract

With 175 scientific presentations, international experts put the newest radar technologies, systems, and applications — whether increasingly compact or cognitive sensors, e.g., for autonomous driving, or resource-efficient and passive for surveillance tasks — up for discussion at the International Radar Symposiums IRS 2018 in Bonn, Germany. The symposium, organized by the German Institute of Navigation (DGON) and the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR, is co-sponsored by the IEEE Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society and celebrated the event's 20 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> anniversary. Chairman Prof. Dr. P. Knott and the Conference Organization Team welcomed over 300 attendees from 38 countries, which highlights the great interest shown and the growing importance of radar and radar research for an ever increasing range of applications.
