Padic

Program project “Passive Acquisition by Digital Convergence” (PADIC) will develop a coastal radar network system with an open architecture; connecting passive, digital sensors of different types. Passive radars use reflections of signals from TV and radio stations, mobile network base stations and added transmitters to detect objects on land, at sea and in the air. Accompanied by Patria, Rantelon and CAFA Tech, the PADIC project is coordinated by Saab. The project duration is 36 months (2021-2024). In the first year (2022), Functional Requirements Definition will be established, based on scenario analyses. Moreover, a System Concept and Architecture will be developed. In the second year (2023), the System Design and Developments and System Level Integrations will be done and a prototype will be developed. In the third year (2024), the PADIC system will be tested and demonstrated in Baltic coastal environments.
