Notice Information

Notice Title

Limits on Electromagnetic Activities (EMA)

Notice Description

To conduct three Lots of research activity into constrained1 or derived process2 limits on EMA3. Under the EMA Programme, the Electromagnetic Research and Science (ERAS) Project intends to identify fundamental Science and Technology (S&T) to surpass limitations, as to achieve generation after next EMA capabilities specifically associated with electronic attack, electronic defence, and tactical electronic surveillance and also synchronisation and coordination. This requirement looks to pursue three distinct methods for exploring limits, separated into three Lots . Lot 1 looks first to identify limits and then analyse the potential for one or more combinations of S&T sub-families to surpass these limits on delivering EM effects, through a targeted study. The purpose of this approach is to identify impactful limitations, and the potential for surpassing them.
