Project Manager Janet Forbes talks about the University Defence Research Collaboration (UDRC) research and it's applications to Julie Shennan, Feature Writer for the MOD Defence Contracts Bulletin magazine.
Signal Processing is fundamental to the capability of all modern sensor weapon systems and the Defence Technology Strategy identified the development and application of signal processing techniques as high priority technical challenges within the MOD research agenda.
The UDRC is a leading partnership between industry, defence and is academia led and focuses on sensor signal processing for defence.
The aim of this Innovative Training Network is to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early stage researchers (ESRs) in the research area of measurement and estimation of signals using knowledge or data about the underlying structure.
The aim of this Initial Training Network is to train a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers in sparse representations and compressed sensing, contributing to Europe’s leading role in scientific innovation.
Prof. Mike Davies was elevated to the position of Fellow of the Institution of Electronic & Electrical Engineering (FIEEE), the leading international organisation in the field, for contributions to sparse representations in signal processing and compressed sensing.
The fundamental challenges for signal processing are: how best to sense; how to distribute the processing and communication of the data within the network to maximize performance and minimize cost; how to analyze it to extract the salient information.
