Defence Sensors and Data Fusion

Start: January and September

Duration: 1 year FT, up to 3 years PT

Entry Requirements:

Normally a 1st or 2nd class honours degree or equivalent in an appropriate discipline (normally electronics, electrical engineering or physics). Alternatively, a lesser qualification with relevant professional experience may be acceptable. Students whose native language is not English must attain an IELTS score of 7. Our normal minimum requirement is a TOEFL score of 580 (paper test) or 237 (computer test), essay rating 4.5 or 92 (Internet test), all skills 19 or an IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 for writing, a TOEIC overall score of 830, or a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English grade C or Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English grade C, although a number of our programmes require higher scores.

Course Description:

This decade has seen major developments in sensors and in data fusion and integration techniques used to maximise data retrieval from multi-sensor systems. The application of these techniques to guided weapons has so far been selective, but with the emphasis on smaller more technological armies, multi-sensor systems are expected to play a crucial role in EW and GW areas.

The Technology Foresight Review highlighted the importance of sensors for the future generation of guided weapon systems and it is estimated that over half the future investment in guided weapons will be in the field of sensors.
