Effects Tech Layer — Cross-domein Architectuur

Concept

De Effects Tech Layer is een horizontale tech stack die cross-domein werkt (lucht, grond, zee, ruimte) in plaats van verticale platform-specifieke oplossingen.

Waarom?

  • Herbruikbaarheid — dezelfde sensing module werkt in drone, USV, ground robot
  • Interoperability — open interfaces tussen JEF landen
  • Surge capacity — modulaire productie schaalt sneller
  • Tech sovereignty — geen vendor lock-in
  • Cost efficiency — economies of scale over domeinen heen

Vier Bouwblokken

1 — Communications (Comms)

RF/Laser/LEO Mesh Networks

TechnologyUse CaseStatus
RF MeshTactical nets, MANETMaturity: TRL 7-8
Free Space Optical (FSO/Laser)High-bandwidth LOS commsMaturity: TRL 6-7
LEO SatcomBeyond-LOS, global coverageMaturity: TRL 8-9
5G/6G TacticalHigh-density, low-latencyMaturity: TRL 5-6

Key Requirements:

  • Anti-jam (spread spectrum, frequency hopping)
  • Low Probability of Intercept (LPI)
  • Mesh networking (self-healing topologies)
  • Interoperability (NATO STANAG 4677, 7085)

Dual-use:

  • Civiel: 5G private networks, emergency comms
  • Militair: Tactical mesh, SATCOM

2 — Sensing & Imaging

EO/IR/Radar/Hyperspectral + AI-edge

Sensor TypeResolutionDual-use
Electro-Optical (EO)1-10cm GSDCiviel: mapping, agricultuur
Infrared (IR)Thermal, SWIR/MWIR/LWIRCiviel: firefighting, SAR
Radar (SAR)All-weather, 1m GSDCiviel: disaster monitoring
Hyperspectral100+ bandsCiviel: mineral exploration
LiDAR3D point cloudsCiviel: infrastructure, forestry

AI-Edge Processing:

  • Object detection (vehicles, personnel)
  • Classification (friend/foe, target type)
  • Change detection (movement, new structures)
  • Fusion (multi-sensor data integration)

Edge compute vereisten:

  • Low power (less than 10W voor drone-mounted)
  • Real-time inference (less than 100ms latency)
  • Ruggedized (IP67, -40°C tot +70°C)

3 — Power & Energy Materials

Battery Packs, Solar, Hybrid Power Systems

TechnologyEnergy DensityUse Case
Li-ion250 Wh/kgGeneral purpose
Li-polymer200 Wh/kgForm factor flexibility
Solid-state400+ Wh/kg (future)Long endurance
Hydrogen fuel cells600 Wh/kgExtended range
Solar200 W/m² (space-grade)Persistent platforms

Hybrid Power:

  • Combinatie solar + battery voor persistent ISR
  • Fuel cell + battery voor long-range strike
  • Tactical charging (rapid swap, inductive)

Dual-use:

  • Civiel: EV batteries, grid storage
  • Militair: Drone endurance, ground vehicles

4 — Mechatronics & Manufacturing

Rapid Prototyping, Modular Production, Supply Chain

CapabilityTime-to-productionDual-use

CNC MachiningDagen tot wekenCiviel: aerospace, automotive
Composite Layup (automated)WekenCiviel: wind turbines, aerospace
Electronics Assembly (SMT)UrenCiviel: consumer electronics

Key Enablers:

  • Digital twins voor rapid iteration
  • Modular designs voor snelle assembly
  • Pre-positioned tooling in JEF landen
  • Supply chain transparency (geen single points of failure)

Cross-domain Toepassingen

Voorbeeld: ISR Module

Dezelfde sensing module kan worden ingezet in:

Voordelen:

  • 1 ontwikkeltraject → 4 platforms
  • Shared supply chain
  • Interoperable data formats
  • Faster time-to-surge (modulaire productie)

Voorbeeld: Comms Module

Dezelfde RF mesh radio kan werken op:

  • Drone-to-drone mesh
  • Ground soldier to vehicle
  • USV to shore station
  • Cross-domain (air-to-ground)

Standards:

  • NATO STANAG 4677 (Tactical Data Link)
  • STANAG 7085 (Digital Communications)
  • Open APIs voor vendor interop
