Products & Services

Product / Service 1

SIRIUS

SIRIUS is an ARTES 4S project (Main Contract Nr. 4000152332/26/UK/ND) that envisions the development and assessment of an integrated, AI-enhanced adaptive antenna array concept for satellite communication terminals, capable of automatically detecting, classifying, and mitigating interference in complex and dynamic environments. By jointly addressing antenna technologies, signal processing, and intelligent control within a unified system framework, the study aims to unlock new levels of robustness and performance for next-generation Satcom terminals, in line with ESA’s strategic objectives. IDE is the Prime Contractor and responsible for the scenario definition and SotA analysis, the systems engineering, the integration, testing and preliminary & detailed design results analysis, as well as for the technology assessment and development plan.

Funding Source: ESA ARTES 4S

Product / Service 2

DANTE

The DANTE project (Deployable Satellite Navigation Antenna) is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), as part of the NAVISP Phase 3 EL1 (Main Contract Nr. 4000144160/24/NL/LW/mk). The objective of this activity is to design a prototype deployable satellite navigation antenna in Ka band. A review into possible use cases for such an antenna on a small sat platform, to be used for navigation functions in combination with mega constellations is also to be performed. A final breadboard of the antenna shall be manufactured and tested to demonstrate the reception of navigation signals with adequate code and carrier stability. IDE is Subcontractor and focuses on the testing activities (and the related preparatory tasks) in IDE’s EMI/EMC testing facility of the Ka band antenna; the project consortium also comprises Adamant Composites (Greece) and NCSR Demokritos (Greece).

ACROSS-AIR

The ACROSS-AIR project (Advanced Broadband Satcom Solutions For Rotary Wing Aircraft) was funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), as part of the ARTES FPE (Contract Nr. 4000141490/23/NL/MM/gm). The focus of the project was to explore the needs, requirements, opportunities, and potential solutions for establishing effective broadband satellite communication services to Rotary Winged Aircraft (RWA) including helicopters, commercial Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), and Urban Air Mobility (UAMs) platforms. During the project, the Consortium investigated the use of SatCom architectures for Use Cases like RWA for recreational purposes, transportation or Search and Rescue Missions. The architectures shall cover E2E the whole system, in particular the terminal system on the RWA, the design approach needed from the aircraft manufacturers, the number of satellites needed, their orbits, and many more other factors. Special attention was given to the space communication protocols, including the 5G-NTN for NGSO (Non-Terrestrial-Networks for Non-Geostationary-Satellite-Orbits). IDE was the Prime Contractor and focused on the SatCom elements; the project consortium also comprised OHB-Hellas (Greece), which focused on the orbital/space segment, and Alpha Unmanned Systems (Spain), which focused on the end user scenarios and requirements, as a RWA expert. The project had a duration of 12 months, started on 1/9/23, and ended on time regarding its main technical work.
