Voltar tópicos co-financiamento EDF-2022-LS-RA-DIS-AC: Innovative technologies for adaptive camouflage Camouflage is an important measure to protect soldiers and military platforms. The adaptation of the camouflage characteristics to the conditions, such as encountered sensors, environment and threat level, could bring this protection to a new level. Both the performance of the [...]

Voltar tópicos co-financiamento EDF-2022-DA-SIMTRAIN-MSSI Modelling, simulation and simulator integration contributing to decision-making and training This proposal should lead to an enhanced EU military training and decision-making capability by connecting individual national systems through distributed solutions. Achieving the added benefit of sharing and pooling resources across EU through a shared ecosystem [...]

Voltar tópicos co-financiamento EDF-2022-RA-UWW-UTS: Underwater manned-unmanned teaming and swarms This topic addresses research for future capabilities addressing moving subsurface threats using manned-unmanned teaming and swarm technologies, possibly including surface and air platforms and components, particularly in confined and shallow waters (CSW). This System- of-Systems (SoS) should enable enhanced operational efficiency [...]

Voltar tópicos co-financiamento EDF-2022-DA-NAVAL-MSAS: Medium-size semi-autonomous surface vessel The goal is to study, design, prototype and test a medium-sized semi-autonomous surface vessel (MSAS) with at least an ISR modular mission payload. Medium-sized should be understood as a vessel that can host the designed mission modules, be optionally manned based on [...]
