n continuation of the research on passive radar technology for moving platforms the benefits and challenges of passive radar for military applications on moving ground based, maritime and airborne platforms shall be studied in a new SET-activity. The work will have strong relations with the LTCR’s as follows: LTCR Priority 10 - Counter Low Signature Airborne Targets; COP, active and passive sensors, target RCS vs bistatic observation angle, LTCR Priority 12 - Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar: advanced radars LTCR Priority 13 - Counter Threat to Low Altitude Air Vehicles; sensors to detect threat, LTCR Priority 25 - Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) Collection Capability: Active and passive sensors Moreover there is connection between the topics mentioned above and CNAD DAT ITEM 1: Large Aircraft Survivability and DAT ITEM 3: Protection of Helicopters from Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPG) As far as relations with UK Taxonomy are concerned one can point out on topics as follows: A09.02 – DSP Technology, A09.08 - Information and Data Fusion Technology B06.02 – RF Sensors B10.09 – Non-Co-operative Target Recognition. C01.03 - Platform and System Concept Studies C06.09 - Counter Stealth R02.L02 - Counter Low Signature Airborne Targets
