The SIRENA's first objective is to evaluate accurately the impact of the EM environment on the aircraft, the airport field and buildings, and close to the airport. |
|
The correlated second objective is to address safety and security issues in order to recommend for immune emitters and give advice for the EM airport environment. |
|
|
| SIRENA Project addresses the strategic research area: "Strengthening the Aeronautical Industry competitiveness" in the domains of action: New Aircraft Concepts and Aircraft Environment. |

The target of the proposed research is to provide a set of simulation tools enabling to compute the high-frequencies EM radiation environment of the (current and future) airport vicinity. SIRENA aims at mastering a technique for airport/aircraft diagnosis and recommending it for safe exploitation.
The goal of the SIRENA research is to analyse the level of availability of contacts between the aircraft and its communication and guidance services and to assess EM impact in and around the airport.
More precisely, SIRENA tackles safety matters in terms of reliability of communication, dysfunction risks, but addresses security problems too, for example: assessing the airport/aircraft level of immunity to EM hostile actions (intentional EMI).
The simulation will deal with all external sources like MLS, ILS, VOR-DME, GPS, GSM, Ultra Wide Band technology, Telecommunications Network (ATN), beacons, radars, TV and radio ham (amateur) emitters and the reception antennas and radars of the selected aircraft, at take off and landing phases.
The outcome of the research will assess the interactions of all external EM source with the environment (masking, multi-reflections, etc.), the interactions of all these sources with the aircraft structure itself and the interactions between emission and reception antennas of the aircraft (in the segment: approach and airfield).
This implies a realistic 3D model of the airport's environment, a particularly accurate 3D design of the aircraft and the airport's buildings, a realistic model of antennas (sources in the environment and on the aircraft) and an efficient treatment of EM propagation in 3D space.
Project consortium is trans-national and gathers industrialists and research centres whose EM know-how, aeronautical background and skills present needed capabilities to the goals of the Project in due time.
