The project leader is responsible for completing the information on the managed project in terms of:

  1. verification of the project description

  2. supplementing the project record with co-executors

  3. updating information on the effects related to the implementation of the project - on an ongoing basis and at the final stage of the projects.

Typically, information (1-3) is completed after receiving an email from the university's Project Service Center, but for task (3) it is recommended to update on an ongoing basis as project effects occur.

In order to fill in /complete the project description (1-2), the project manager can only access the form by obtaining an email from the Project Service Center, which contains a link to edit the project record. This link usually allows you to edit the following elements:

  1. Project description in Polish and English (fields Summary of the project in Polish and Summary of the project in English) in the Basic Data tab (Figure 1).

    Fig. 1 Project description fields

  2. In the Additional Data tab (Fig. 2), you can fill in information about the subunits in which the project is implemented (e.g., you can add institute(s), department(s) co-implementing the project. In addition, co-implementers can be added

  3. If the knowledge base installation collects and presents profiles of scientific/research teams or scientific circles, you can also add a team in this tab (in the Team field), this will cause the project information to appear in the team profile,

  4. In the Project Effects tab (Fig. 3) in the final phase, describe the project effects in general.

Note: Since the system will automatically add all connected projects to the project description, the description of project effects should not include detailed bibliographic data of completed publications or patents, rather it should be a substantive description, with an indication of achievements.

 

An example of a description is shown below

As part of the project's implementation, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging technology demonstrator was developed and tested under real conditions, which operates at 35GHz and allows real-time acquisition of images with a resolution of 15cm x 15cm.

 

Practical effects:

The practical result of the project is a field-tested Ka-band (35GHz) radar with synthetic aperture SAR that allows real-time radar imaging of the Earth's surface with a resolution of 15cm x 15cm. The project involved testing and calibration of the system under laboratory conditions as well as a series of flight tests of the system using an aircraft. A research carrier complementary to the flying laboratory of the Air Force Institute of Technology (ITWL) was used as the radar carrier. The developed SAR radar demonstrator was integrated on the aircraft in an overhead tray. The contractors rate the technological advancement of the developed SAR radar demonstrator at 6-7 on a scale of 0-9, where 9 means a tested prototype ready for production. To achieve the highest technological level, it would be necessary to carry out the implementation process of the developed technology.

Popularization activities:

Technical specifications of the ìSAR radar have been developed for the exhibition implemented by ITWL at the International Defense Industry Exhibition (MSPO) 2014.

It is recommended to nest multimedia materials in the content of the project description, as well as in the description of effects (illustrations, links to videos (e.g. on YouTube).

Linking publications, patents, products and implementations to project deliverables should be done as described in
