What does EXE do in the CASSATA project?
Bertin Exensor, based in Lund, Sweden, is providing its Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) to more than 10 EU countries. Our UGS system Flexnet is already comprising optical, magnetic, seismic and acoustic sensors. The further developments of those passive sensors in CASSATA will create new capabilities available in the next years for our end-users.
What does EXE aim to achieve by participating in the CASSATA project?
By building strong relationship with expert RTOs in the consortium, such as FOI or ISL, we expect to bring the science closer the end-user needs. The project also help up to build an in-house research ressource interacting with other EU experts from industry.
What specific areas does EXE focus on in the CASSATA project to improve covert sensing and operational effectiveness amidst rapid changes in European defense?
In CASSATA, Bertin Exensor is focusing on improving its seismic-acoustic sensing capabiliites. First, to add a new protection layer to the UGS system we develop by being able to detect small, low flying UAS. We are also looking at improving the information quality we can extract from new sensors to enhance end-users situation awareness.
