Our paper on hardware-aware SE(3) Control Barrier Functions for counter-UAS interception with directed energy payloads has been accepted at ICUAS 2026.

We submitted AERIAL-EDGE, a Horizon Europe Twinning proposal coordinated by ATHENA RC, targeting permanent aerial radio measurement and edge data intelligence infrastructure for Mediterranean drone corridors.

We study symbol detection in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (MIMO-OTFS) systems over geometry-based, …

We submitted a paper on geometry-aware deep-unfolded MIMO-OTFS detection to IEEE WCL.

Building realistic Digital Twins of UAV operations in complex urban environments requires HPC. Within EUSOME, access to ARIS HPC systems and NVIDIA A100 GPUs enables high-fidelity simulations for U-space.

ATHENA and Hellenic Drones S.A. carried out drone flights to measure 5G signal strength at different altitudes in urban environments, improving how UAV missions are planned within the EUSOME Project.

This paper addresses the coupled control and communication problem in UAV networks operating at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. …

Drone-mounted directed energy payloads — RF jammers and High Power Microwave (HPM) sources — offer a reusable Counter-UAS capability, …

In massive MIMO Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), conventional contiguous sub-array partitioning limits spatial degrees of …

We submitted a paper on multi-functional diversity via flexible spatial partitioning for massive MIMO ISAC to IEEE TWC.
