IRS 2026 is a continuation of a very successful sequence of Radar Symposia, which started in 1998 in Munich, Germany, organized by prof. Hermann Rohling.
This time we come to Krakow, Poland. We hope to repeat the success of IRS 2016, which was also held here. Again, IRS-2026 conference is a part of Microwave and Radar Week.
Radar technique, due to the rapid development of digital and analogue technologies, is still an expanding technical and economic segment with practical applications both in civil and military areas. The worldwide family of radar researchers and experts is rapidly growing, as radar technology rapid progress is observed in automotive industry, drone industry, space industry and also on military and security market
The International Radar Symposium aims to provide a forum for both academic and industrial professionals in radar from all over the world and to bring together academicians, researchers, engineers, system analysts, graduate and undergraduate students with government and non-government organizations to share and discuss both theoretical and practical knowledge.
We invite cordially everyone from the radar family to submit outstanding and valuable original research papers and participate in the conference, workshops and technical exhibition during the Microwave and Radar Week.
