Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

  • To develop and test an efficient model of electromagnetic wave propagation capable of assessing and predicting EM (electromagnetic) signal propagation conditions to contribute to the creation of a tactical decision-making aid (TDA)
  • To consolidate at a fully sovereign common supply chain of some critical technology building blocks for the next generation of high performance infrared detectors for deference applications in all batllespace dimensions
  • To conduct research activities on space-based technologies contributing to the protection of space-based assets against a wide range of threats and to demonstrate the feasibility of selected technological solutions
  • To create new types of processors for AI (Artifical Intelligence) that offer very significant performance gains for defence applications, and to develop European supply chains offering a technological autonomy for these technologies
  • To prepare a next generation of explosive hazards countermeasures (equipment, materials, etc.) using innovative technologies
  • To establish a stratregic airlift capability by either re-designing / adapting an existing or developing a new solution
  • To increase the level of maturity of some of the most critical LDEW (Laser-based Directed Energy Weapons) technologies and subsystems to ensure strategic autonomy and security of supply in this critical domain

Among financed actions

  • Activities that aim to create, underpin and improve knowledge
  • Activities that aim to increase interoperability and resilience
  • Studies of feasibility
  • Design of a defence product

Additional information

  • This call for proposals is a restricted call for for proposals. In first instance, only concept notes will be evaluated.
  • Initial duration of the action: between 12 and 48 months

Eligibility
