Sensors & Electronics Technology (SET) Panel Office

The Sensors & Electronics Technology (SET) Panel is eager to advance technology in electronics and passive/active sensors (as they pertain to reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, electronic warfare, communications, navigation) and to enhance sensor capabilities through multi-sensor integration/fusion in order to improve the operating capability and to contribute to fulfil strategic military results. As NATO war-fighters and peace-keepers continue to shift more and more towards asymmetrical warfare, SET technology have to focus on the military mission of saving lives, improving quality of life and extending our combat effectiveness. Research in the Sensors and Electronics Technology Panel concerns the phenomenology related to target signature, propagation and battle-space environment, electro-optics (or electro-optical, EO), radio frequency (RF), acoustic and magnetic sensors, antenna, signal and image processing, components, sensor hardening and electromagnetic compatibility.

The NATO S&T Collaboration Support Office and the Sensors and Electronics Technology Panel
are thrilled to announce the

NATO STO Summer School (NS3)
SET-326

will be held in

Helsinki, FINLAND
8-12 July 2024

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey with the SET Panel as we unveil our groundbreaking initiative - the Summer School!

Designed to ignite passion and expertise in military Science and Technology, this week-long event is tailored to welcome fresh minds into the world of NATO STO activities.

Our Summer School is not just an ordinary lecture series; it's a dynamic platform offering comprehensive education and training in Sensing Technology. Led by a handpicked team of experts, participants will delve into various facets of the field, gaining invaluable insights and practical knowledge.

Unlike traditional lecture series, our Summer School transcends singular topics, providing a holistic overview of SET from a military perspective. Whether you're an experienced researcher or a budding scientist, this immersive experience promises to expand your horizons and equip you with the skills needed to make a meaningful impact in the field.

Join us as we pave the way for the next generation of researchers and scientists in military science and technology. Secure your spot and be part of this transformative journey!

The NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Collaboration Support Office and the Sensors and Electronics Technology (SET) Panel are seeking abstracts for a Research Specialists' Meeting on "Photonic Integrated Circuits" (SET-331), to be held 21-22 October 2024 in Dresden, Germany. 

This meeting is open to: NATO Nations, NATO EOP Nations: (Australia, Japan, Sweden) and Switzerland.

The deadline for abstracts is 13 May 2024 (29 April 2024 for US authors)

Objectives

The meeting aims to provide the STO with a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology, in light of the manufacturing and engineering aspects that contribute to their commercial viability.  

This is particularly significant because the US, UK, and EU are currently formulating their national strategies for the semiconductor, quantum, and photonic industries. These strategies are being developed in direct response to concerns about the reliability of future key component supplies from China and the potential use of technology supply chains as economic weapons. As the shift towards photonic-based data processing and the integration of semiconductors and electronic processing chips in PIC continues, the RSM can offer valuable advice to guide future technology investments in NATO and national technology strategies.

Accepted Papers must be accompanied by a signed Publication Release Form (Form 13, attached), otherwise material will not be published.

For US authors and US-affiliated authors, please note that the abstract submission procedures require an earlier deadline: 29 April 2024. Please see the flyer for more detailed instructions. 

 

Monday, 21. October 2024 until Tuesday, 22. October 2024 08:00 - 17:30
