Industrial research chairs and shared laboratories

ENSTA Bretagne has partnered with businesses to create Industrial Research Chairs and shared labs. The goal of these partnerships is to work together on shared technological concerns (through the creation of roadmaps) and R&D, and to export applicable methods and approaches into the processes and industrial tools of private partners.

Mechanical sciences

ANR Industrial Chair in « SELF-HEATING »

Led by ENSTA Bretagne (Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme) with Naval Group and Safran, including the P’2 Institute. The aim: predict the in service performance of Aircraft and Naval System.

Gustave Zédé

In partnership with Naval Group, this lab carries out research into fatigue in materials and naval structures.

Computation mechanics

ENSTA Bretagne has joined the PSA Group’s « Computational Mechanics » Open Lab, alongside Mines Paris, the Ecole Polytechnique and ENSTA Paris.

Censta BZH

In partnership with Centigon, this lab carries out R&D for automotive pyromechanisms, vehicle armoring and digital modeling of ballistic impacts.

EXCELCAR

Industrial innovation accelerator, with Stellantis. Find out more

THOR

This joint laboratory with Arquus is dedicated to the energy chain of army vehicles and their bases. Find out more

 

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.
