Student Activities - Travel Support for RadarConf 2018
Abstract
Summary The purpose of this request is to seek student activities/travel support for the 2018 IEEE Radar Conference (RadarConf 2018) to be held in Oklahoma City, OK from 23-27 April 2018. The requested support will be used to support students to travel to the conference to present their research and to attend the Radar Summer School. The University of Oklahoma will serve as a pass-through to the conference. The IEEE Radar Conference series is the preeminent conference in the field of radar and attracts distinguished attendees from around the world. The theme of the 2018 conference is ÒSpurring Innovation.Ó The conference will showcase cutting-edge research in topics such as phenomenology, radar system architectures, military applications, signal processing, environmental applications, antenna technologies, and civil/security applications, all pertinent to ARL/AROÕs interests. The IEEE Radar Conference is the flagship conference in the field of radar, and is widely viewed as the most prestigious radar conference in the world. Conference topics range from the theoretical to practical systems and across military, environmental, scientific, and civil applications. The 2018 conference will consist of approximately 250 - 350 high-quality papers and presentations representing the areas of phenomenology and scattering, antenna arrays, interference cancellation, over-the-horizon radar, cognitive radar, space-based radar, advanced components and subsystems, dismount detection and human motion identification, building penetration, multistatic/MIMO radar, compressive sensing, multi-dimensional processing, radar detection and tracking, automatic target recognition, weather radar, adaptive signal processing, spectrum engineering, and novel waveform design/implementation. Approximately 400-500 attendees are expected, a not insignificant number of which will be international. RadarConf 2018 is jointly sponsored by the IEEE Oklahoma City Section and the IEEE Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society, and is technical co-sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society, the IEEE Geoscience & Remote Sensing Society, the IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society, and the American Meteorological Society. The website for the conference is www.radarconf18.org . The conferenceÕs Call-for-Papers was recently released at the 2017 IEEE Radar Conference. The 2018 conference will integrate two new events, which debuted at the 2017 IEEE Radar Conference and were exceedingly successful. The 2018 conference will facilitate the second AES Radar Summer School, held concurrently with the radar conference. This educational opportunity provides new (and prospective) radar students with a two-day comprehensive overview of radar systems and many of the specialties within it for a very low fee (only $35/person was charged in Seattle). As in 2017, the Radar Summer School for 2018 will be taught by internationally recognized experts in various facets of radar technology with the purpose of engaging these new and prospective radar students to pursue further advanced research in radar. It will occur on the weekend preceding the conference. Likewise, the conference will also host the IEEEÕs Young Professional Mentorship program. AROÕs support for student travel greatly enhances these two events. DISTRIBUTION A
