This presentation is intended to give a return of experience from theindustrial, knowledge institutes and end-user partners on the PASRprogram PROBANT.

PROBANT stands for “People Real-Time Observation in Buildings: Assessment of New Technologies in support of surveillance and intervention operations ”

The following questions will be answered:• Why the partners initially joined to apply for a PASR project?

• How is the PROBANT project daily life: among partners and with the EU Commission?

• What is the preliminary outcome of the project?

• What are the outcomes for the industrial and technical partners?

• What is the preliminary return of experience from the end users?

• Which advices can be given ?

No exhaustive technical details will be presented for security reasons.

Daily life of the projectDaily life of the project

11 Working meeting were organized to draw the situation of the project,perform trade off discussions and define the actions to take

7 Steering committee meeting were organized periodically and whenimportant decision were required

Every partner in the consortium had a specific role. The end user role wassubstantial and the requirements were codified without pre-knowledge of

the technological possibilities.

Several trade off discussions have been performed in the usergroup:• the original requirements, to define the project targets;

• the technology to be used, finally FMCW;

• the commercial aspects of the final product, price and market;

• the mechanical set up of the device, carrying and monitoring;

• the user interface for the operator, what will be visible.

Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology has beenextended to UWB radar for through-wall imaging

Radar electronics with low transmitted power, high dynamic range, highsweeping rate and programmable selection of operational frequency bandhas been developed and tested

Demonstrator of radar electronicsas a proof of concept:

- less than 1 W for transmission

- more than 70 dB of natural dynamic range

- ultra fast sweeping rate allowing highrefresh rate

First resultsFirst results

A first prototype was designedand manufactured.

Measurements have been performedshowing promising performanceswith the selected technology.

A software interface has been developed, helping the fusion of data andassistance to decision.

Based on the preliminary results, a 2nd prototype is being designed formanufacturing, functional testing and operational evaluation by the end-users.

End users return of experienceEnd users return of experience

End user are satisfied of the co-operation between partners

End users have the real possibility to influence the project

• Freedom to formulate their remarks and wishes• Fruitful trade off discussions

• Participation to the decision taking

End user are expecting the project to end with an operational anduseful product

The project coordination is fair and open-minded

Each partner has opportunity to give its opinion on any aspect ofthe project with equal consideration for decision
