Titolo AULOSÒ: Finmeccanica Family of Passive Sensors

Abstract

The name comes from an Ancient Greek wind instrument because AULOS® is a passive radar family system developed by SELEX Sistemi Integrati (now Finmeccanica) that exploits electromagnetic energy already present in the environment such as FM frequency radio and DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast - Terrestrial) emissions, and is completely environmentally friendly. The new green system is the result of many years of R&D, some undertaken in concert with the Terrestrial Armaments Department. It is a technologically advanced family of sensors developed entirely on the basis of a “soft radar” approach, involving signal sampling directly at carrier frequency using COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) devices for signal reception and digital processing. The resulting bi-band family offers great flexibility for potential use in a variety of operating conditions, along with enhanced target monitoring distance and position estimate performance
