Faculty of Engineering of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague
The Faculty of Engineering at CZU Prague provides Bachelor's and Master's education within eight accredited study programmes with five follow-up Ph.D. study programmes. A permanent goal of the faculty is to produce quality graduates in the study programmes for careers that are in high demand. This objective is conditioned not only by the quality pedagogical work of all faculty employees but also by extensive creative work in research activities and cooperation with the sphere of application and with foreign partners. A higher faculty income should come from research projects, state support of research organisations and collaboration with industry. In ProLab, we are developing a multi-purpose working drone under the working name AGRONAUT. It is a working drone intended for local application of chemical protective substances in the system of precision agriculture. The UAV device is a response to modern trends in industry and meets the requirements of the "Industry 4.0" concept. The Agronaut is designed as a modular platform and carrier, which can be fitted with various measuring or working devices. Due to the fact that it is basically a cargo drone, it will also be possible to use this drone “DistribuThor” for the contactless distribution of medicines or protective equipment in areas with increased risk. Last version “LocaThor” brings some new applications. At first is using hybrid power module with small combustion engine and generator for longer range and flying time. These design modifications meet the requirements for the use of drone in defence units.

JISR Institute, a.s. shall demonstrate the integration of ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and EW (Electronic Warfare) systems within the NATO environment. The demonstration combines data from different data sources such as CESMO (Co-operative Electronic Support Measures Operations), Link 16 via JREAP-C (The Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol) or ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast). Data are collected, aggregated and fused into C-EOB (Common Electronic Order of Battle) which is shared within ISR enterprise via CSD (Coalition Shared Database), resp. NSILI (NATO Standard ISR Library Interface). The resulting EW information is fused in the ISR environment with information from other intelligence branches such as imagery (IMINT) and the resulting ISR products are shared among allied partners.
CESMO, one of the main EW integration protocols, is developed by NATO to enable rapid sharing, fusion and dissemination of Electronic Support Measures (ESM) derived information. CESMO enables coordination and fusion of data from the electromagnetic spectrum sensors, across an agile tactical network. CESMO is standardized as STANAG 4658 and AEDP-13 which defines the processes and standardized message set to enable rapid data and information sharing.
The object of NSILI, aka as CSD is to promote interoperability for the exchange of NATO ISR products. NSILI/CSD provides a standard interface for publishing, querying, accessing and synchronisation heterogeneous ISR product libraries maintained by NATO and Nations. CSD is also used as final storage for AGS (Alliance Ground Surveillance) data and information.
LPP s.r.o. is a technological company which was founded in 1993, to become very soon a local industrial leader in development and manufacturing of the flight instruments. Company has gradually expanded into other production areas, mainly in the land forces domain with the Vehicular Information and Battle Management System, which was successfully integrated as a part of Command and Control system into various combat and support platforms of Czech Armed Forces.
Nowadays the company provides comprehensive solutions to the customers all over the world not only in the Defense and Security Sector, but also in the area of intelligence and civilian rescue systems. LPP's solutions include an artificial intelligence, big data analysis, information and cyber security systems, as well. Based on its own expertise, knowledge management and long-term engagement, has introduced own C6 ISR system, including a full integration of necessary sub-systems into the various ariel and land platforms.
Besides that, LPP focuses on development and production of own vetronics, control and data terminals, diagnostic units as well as various E/O sensors. In an aerospace sector the company is capable to provide complete avionics suits, including own EFIS and ESIS displays, mission computers, HUMS and other various instruments. LPP team predestines the company to provide its customers with the innovative and top-of-the-art solutions.
The Military Technical Institute is a state-owned enterprise established by the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic on 1 September, 2012.
