The proposed project will address a very important problem of detection and characterisation of radar pulses when the frequency bands are very congested. In particular, a set of newly developed machine learning techniques will be applied for “de-interleaving” problems, and identification of the radar pattern of pulses over wide bandwidths and long repeating patterns. One way to deal with these problems is to apply recently developed pattern recognition conformal predictors that may allow discrimination of different types of pulse repetition intervals.

The scholarship will provide full tuition fees plus a maintenance allowance for 3.5 years, which is free of income tax. Thales intend to supplement the standard Doctoral stipend significantly, for the right candidate. In addition, there will be an allowance to support research studies covering, for example, travel and subsistence for meetings and conferences, books and computing facilities. Due to the restrictions imposed by the scholarship scheme, this opportunity is limited to UK immediately preceding commencement.

Students or EU students who have been resident in the UK for at least 3 (preferably 5) years EU students who do not meet the residence requirement are eligible for a fees only award. The student will be expected to spend up to several months at Thales UK in Crawley, Sussex, and the company will pay any excess travel and subsistence costs.
