Information & Communication Technologies
GIS CORMORANT
Thales founded this scientific interest consortium (GIS) with the scientific community in the West of Brittany, to study 3 areas:
- Smart processing and sensors
- Human-system interaction and human factors
- Autonomy of maritime systems
Transnum
« Transnum » aims to create new autonomous systems to observe and monitor the marine environment. It was created by Thales, ENSTA Bretagne and ISEN Ycréa Ouest.
Waves
This shared lab, in partnership with Thales DMS, works on improving distributed and autonomous sensor network performance for detection and automatic identification in the marine environment. One of its main areas of focus is the development of reliable and secure robotic technologies.
Lateral
This lab is shared with Thales TOSA and carries out research into technology for microwave frequencies, antennas and guidance for embedded systems.
Naval systems cyberdefense chair
At the beginning of 2019, ENSTA Bretagne joined the naval systems cyberdefense chair of the Ecole Navale, alongside IMT Atlantique, Naval Group and Thales. The research focusing on mathematics and computer technology, aims to detect attacks and protect and defend equipment from attacks.
SENI
The activities of this joint research and innovation laboratory between Naval Group and ENSTA Bretagne concern the design and development of intelligent naval embedded systems.
Studies for the offshore wind turbines of the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier
Conducted with the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB). Find out more
ANR AI OCEANIX RESEARCH CHAIR
Improve understanding of ocean dynamics and develop efficient monitoring and surveillance tools to meet today’s challenges.
Weapons programs
The French Government defense procurement and technology agency (DGA) and DGA/TN (naval techniques) in particular rely on ENSTA Bretagne’s research potential in terms of mechanical science, IT and the humanities. Innovation programs on future weapons systems are conducted by teams bringing together ENSTA Bretagne research professors and the DGA’s R&D teams.
