Take up the challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Practice Week, you will have the opportunity to put your technologies to the test in a realistic operational scenario. The aim is to demonstrate how unmanned systems can remain operational in a contested electromagnetic environment.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>

The scenario<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A unit of soldiers is tasked with reconnoitring an urban area with several buildings and streets. To carry out the operation, a range of unmanned ground and air systems (UGV\/UAV) are deployed \u2013 equipped with different radios, sensors and control mechanisms. Throughout the exercise, these systems are actively disrupted by enemy electronic warfare. This includes realistic jamming and spoofing scenarios, as well as other electromagnetic interference, all deliberately targeting the deployed UxS. The goal is to create the most authentic threat picture possible \u2013 reflecting what is already seen in today\u2019s high-intensity operational environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is where you come in:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For three days, you will be able to test, adapt and further develop your systems or concepts under these challenging conditions. The scenario and deployed UxS can be varied in coordination to address specific challenges. The Practice Week is designed to accommodate both focused solutions \u2013 for example targeting only jamming or spoofing \u2013 as well as broader approaches covering multiple aspects. A complete solution is not required \u2013 what matters is that each approach is tested in the same baseline scenario, with at least one unmanned system and one countermeasure in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the fourth day comes the real test: a structured live exercise in which the developed solutions are evaluated under operational conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reflect different performance levels, multiple levels of difficulty will be simulated.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>
