DRAGON: Adaptive RF Seekers based on 3-D Conformal Antennas

In DRAGON, novel 3-D-shaped conformal antenna arrays are investigated to exploit the ability of an RF seeker to diversify, select and optimize the transmitted waveform design and the 3-D phased array beam-pattern characteristics on a scan to scan basis.The goal of DRAGON is to develop a new solution, which is based on the use of 3-D conformal antennas that are capable to operate with different waveform parameters. Optimization of waveform parameters will provide a strategy to improve prosecution trajectories.
