Recent trends in computational electromagnetics for defence applications

Abstract

Innovations in material science, (nano) fabrication techniques, and availability of fast computers are rapidly changing the way we design and develop modern defence applications. When we want to reduce R&D and the related trial-and-error costs, virtual modelling and prototyping tools are valuable assets for design engineers. Some of the recent trends in computational electromagnetics are presented highlight the challenges and opportunities . Why researchers should equip themselves with the state-of-the-art tools with multiphysics and multiscale capabilities to design and develop modern defence applications are discussed.
