Security and Defense
The C2T3 – Centre de transfert technologique en télécommunications – has recognized multidisciplinary expertise in several key areas of public security and technological defense.
In terms of drone technologies, the center develops advanced solutions integrating modules for on-board measurements (AI targeting, intelligent flight maneuvers), on-board countermeasures (on-board radar detection, collision avoidance), and decision-making autonomy using artificial intelligence for high-level missions criticality. He also masters the protocols of stealth connectivity suitable for environments with a low RF footprint, enabling discreet and resilient communication.
In radar technologies2T3 designs and tests detection systems integrating inference algorithms for the reconstruction of trajectories of collaborative or non-collaborative objects (UAVs, vehicles, moving targets), and works to reduce false alarm rates in environments noisy.
In civil security and defense, it designs secure communication architectures for critical infrastructure (water, energy, transport, mining), including in extreme conditions (far north, geographic isolation, maritime operations) and for the connectivity of infrastructure deployable in emergency situations (mobile airport towers and other deployments).
In cybersecurity, its work includes the development of integrated IoT security layers for constrained networks, electromagnetic (EM) shielding for protecting sensitive data from interference and radiation attacks, as well as advanced techniques RF stealth applied to the concealment of electromagnetic signatures. This expertise positions C2T3 as a strategic technological player in strengthening the resilience and autonomy of public security infrastructures.
Finally, the center actively contributes to the development of the post-quantum security by integrating cryptographic algorithms resistant to quantum attacks to ensure the confidentiality, authenticity and security of digital exchanges in industrial networks, critical infrastructures and connected objects. This includes analyzing resistance to Shor and Grover-like algorithms, integrating post-quantum primitives, and simulating secure transmission chains in deployed environments, thereby contributing to the digital sovereignty of national infrastructure.
