    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor fastener arrangement (10a-f) for holding a sensor device (3). The sensor fastener arrangement (10a-f) comprises a plurality of fastener elements (20a, 20b). The fastener elements (20a, 20b) are configured to arrange the sensor device (3) to a platform (1). Respective fastener element (20a, 20b) is rigid in a first state and reversibly deformable in a second state. When the platform (1) of the sensor device (10a-f), and/or the sensor device (3), is exposed to an impact force, in turn exposing a fastener element (20a, 20b) to a compressive force exceeding a critical load of that fastener element (20a, 20b), the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from being in the first state to temporarily being in the second state. Thereby the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from having a first rigid shape to temporarily being reversibly deformed, after which, when the impact force is terminated, the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from temporarily being in the second state back to being in the first state. Thereby the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from temporarily being reversibly deformed to having the first rigid shape.

The antenna [6] is arranged to be rotatable and the extendable section [2a] comprises a plurality of telescopic sections [8] whereby the extendable section [2a] may adopt a retracted configuration and a deployed configuration. The mast [7] is foldable in relation to a platform [5] in a vertical plane [PLxy] essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the extendable section [LD-es] and to the longitudinal direction of the base section [LD- bs] by means of a first pivot joint [9]. According to the disclosure the antenna system [1] may be arranged to the platform [5], wherein the platform [5] may be in form of a vehicle [5-v], whereby an antenna arrangement [101] is formed. The disclosure further relates to methods of avoiding oscillations for an antenna system [1] and/or an antenna arrangement [101],and to a method of undeploying an antenna arrangement

    Abstract: A waveguide launch system configured for translating radio frequency signal waves is provided. The system comprises a first printed circuit board lamina comprising an electrically conductive ground member and configured for attachment of a separate waveguide element, having a first cross-section area, thereto. A second printed circuit board lamina comprising an electrically conductive backshort cover configured to reflect the RF signal waves is bonded to a first printed circuit board lamina. An electrically conductive barrier arrangement extends through the second printed circuit board lamina. The electrically conductive barrier arrangement and the electrically conductive backshort cover form an integrated electrically conductive backshort volume of an integrated backshort having a second cross-section area. The second cross-section area is smaller than the first cross-section area.

    Abstract: A sensor surveillance system (100) and a method for determining possible geographic positions of at least one assumed undetected target (1a-n) within a geographic volume of interest (200) is provided, wherein for a first point in time ti the following steps are performed: dividing the geographic volume of interest (200) into sections (10); assuming the existence of an assumed undetected target (1a-n) at a geographic position within each section (10); and initiating the creation of a pattern (2) defining at least one possible geographic position of the assumed undetected target, said pattern extends at least partially around the geographic position of the assumed undetected target (1a-n); wherein the geographic extension of said pattern is determined based on: the category of the assumed undetected target (1a-n); and the amount of time that has passed from the first point in time t1. Further, for a second point in time t2 the following steps are performed: determining geographic locations (205) within said geographic volume of interest (200) from where sensor signals show absence of targets; and removing the pattern (2) from the geographic locations (205) from where sensor signals show absence of targets.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for signal processing resource allocation. The method comprises receiving (S10) streaming signal data. The method further comprises, at a first computational resource, determining (S20) a first data subset of the streaming signal data based on a selection criterion, the selection criterion having a contextual relationship with a predetermined scenario. The method also comprises determining (S25) a second data subset of the received streaming signal data based on the first data subset and the contextual relationship. The method additionally comprises, at a second computational resource, analysing (S30) the second data subset using an algorithm based on the contextual relationship. The method further comprises forming (S40) aggregated signal data based on the received streaming signal data and the analysed second data subset. The method yet further comprises outputting (S50) data based on the aggregated signal data. The present disclosure also relates to corresponding systems and computer programs.

    Abstract: A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening adapted for storing the countermeasures in cartridges, where the dispenser comprises a manoeuvrable spoiler arranged in front of the launch opening, where the spoiler is adapted to be fully retracted before a countermeasure has been launched, and that the spoiler is adapted to extend outwards in a predefined manner when a countermeasure has been launched. The advantage of the invention is that a spoiler will reduce induced noise from the open cartridges by extending a spoiler outwards depending on the number of launched countermeasures. This allows for a simple, reliable and cost-effective solution.
