Wor king closely with government\, industry\, and international partners\, DSS combines cutting-edge research with practical applications in defence tec hnology\, cybersecurity\, intelligence\, and crisis management. Innovation s are developed and applied in radar and sensor systems\, electronic warfa re\,\nsituational awareness\, cybersecurity\, and data intelligence.\n\nHi story\nThe Waalsdorp site traces its origins to 1 December 1927\, when the “Meetgebouw” laboratory of the Dutch Commission for Physical Armament (Commissie voor Physische Strijdmiddelen) commenced operations.\nUnder pi oneers such as Ir. J.L. van Soest and Jhr. Ir. J.L.W.C. von Weiler\, resea rch at the site encompassed aeroacoustics\, early radar\, underwater acous tics\, and radio-frequency systems. Although much of the pre-World War II material was lost or destroyed during wartime\, a revival of preservation began in 1977 in preparation for the 50th anniversary of the TNO Physics L aboratory. In 1969\, the laboratory relocated to its\ncurrent Waalsdorp fa cilities.\n\nToday\, Museum Waalsdorp brings together the legacy of the ea rlier DSS laboratories\, including the LEOK\, and tells the story of five world-changing inventions that were created at Waalsdorp.\n\nLMAG members to Waalsdorp are offered insight into that rich technological heritage alo ngside current research efforts\, showcasing how historical foundations co ntinue to inform modern defence\, safety and security innovation.\n\nProgr am\n• 12:00 – 13:00 Walk-in lunch\n• 13:00 – 14:30 Presentations: Welcome introduction + presentations on radar\, antennas\, and ultrasonics \n• 14:30 – 15:00 Coffee break\n• 15:00 – 16:30 Museum tour\n• 1 6:30 – 17:00 Drinks and closing remarks\n\nRegistration\nParticipation t o this event is free of charge for IEEE LMAG members.
