The COM group’s<\/strong> journey in electronic warfare systems began in 1998 with the design of the LIBRA<\/strong> system, designed by the University of Vigo<\/strong> and built by INDRA<\/strong> to measure the Radar Equivalent Section (SER)<\/strong> or Radar Cross Section (RCS)<\/strong> of ships. or naval units, a parameter used to weigh how visible a target is for a radar. The LIBRA<\/strong> system allowed the Spanish Navy to have RCS measures specific to its ships and, with the collaboration of the teachers of the SC7-B group, to participate actively in the NATO<\/strong> working groups on radar and in the joint EWT<\/strong> maneuvers of the same organism for several years.<\/p>\n

The LIBRA<\/strong> system was operational between 2000 and 2010, but it is obsolete and needs to be replaced and improved. The two professors who lead this group are members of the SET-251<\/strong> group, Ship Radar Signature Management Benefit to Ships<\/strong>, of the NATO Sensors and Electronics Technology (SET)<\/strong> panel, representing Spain in said working group \/ technical discussions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
