About the people behind EMPRISE
ONERA, who are we ?
ONERA’s mission
Developing and guiding research activities in the aerospace field
Designing, developing and deploying the resources required to conduct this research
Disseminating, in collaboration with the authorities or organisations responsible for scientific and technical research, the results of said research at national and international levels; promoting their use by the aerospace industry and, where appropriate, facilitating their application outside the aerospace field.
In these different capacities, it is notably tasked with:
Conducting itself or asking a third party to conduct, on its own initiative or upon request, all the studies and research required by the aerospace industry
Developing test and calculation facilities for the benefit of aerospace research and industry
Liaising with French, foreign and international organisations whose activities may contribute to the advancement of aerospace research
Disseminating and promoting the results obtained, in particular through publications, patents and operating licenses
Promoting the launching or development of initiatives in favour of aerospace research or industry
Assisting official organisations and authorities as an expert and upon request
Contributing, in its field of competence, to the training policy on research and through research
In liaison with the National Centre for Space Studies, it contributes, through its own actions or through agreements, to research and experimental achievements in the space field.

DEMR/SEM, about us
DEMR
The DEMR (Electromagnetism and radar department) combines all ONERA’s skills in electromagnetism and its applications for future radar and communication systems: ground or on-board radar, communications (space, aeronautical, terrestrial), radio navigation, electronic warfare (listening-in ELINT (electronic intelligence) or jamming).
It brings together various disciplines ranging from physics to system studies, through fine-scale description of the environment, the propagation and study of radar clutter, numerical calculation, antennas, electromagnetic compatibility, stealth, signal processing, electronics, real-time computing and experimentation.
SEM
conception and development of simulation tools for radar or electronic
warfare applications. These simulations take into account all entities
that have an influence on the sensors performance. They also enable
ONERA and defense manufacturers, in the upstream phase, to assess new
concepts and, in an operational context, to provide input for the
equipment assessment and qualification process.
More specifically, the unit carries out electromagnetic modeling
activities related to target signature calculations and stealth.
Another topic of interest is the assessment of radar interference from wind turbines.
Presentation of the DGA
Key entity for expertise, testing, and engineering within the Ministère des Armées, the DGA is tasked with equipping the armed forces autonomously, preparing the future of defense systems, promoting European cooperation, and supporting exports.
Presentation of Scalian DS
For this journey, we partenered with Scalian DS for their R&D and digital solutions.
Created in 1989, Scalian is a specialist in business transformation through its expertise in both business processes and digital technologies.
Ranked in the top 10 engineering consulting firms in France, the Group provides services in industrial project management, supply chain (costs, quality, deadlines, performance), architecture and development of embedded digital systems and information system applications, big data and AI. It also deals with project optimisation and organisational performance issues, as well as digital transformation challenges for leaders in industry and the service sector. As of 2024, the Group includes 5,500 people spread in 11 countries, with a turnover of €550 million.
