  • Development of a limited set of interface and implementation standards in order to ensure interoperability and the integration of future data-based solutions and services in various ships;
  • Modelling and simulation environment based on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles.

Among financed actions

  • Studies;
  • The design of a defence product, tangible or intangible component or technology;
  • The definition of the technical specifications on which such design has been developed which may include partial tests for risk reduction in an industrial or representative environment.
