Code: 34389 | Identifier Code: EDF-2024-RA-SIMTRAIN-BRG-STEP | Programme name: 3564 | Start submission calls: 20/06/2024 | End submission calls: 05/11/2024

Mission planning and execution in the present and future multi-domain operation environment (MDO) employing manned and unmanned force elements demand that the human decision makers are very well supported to be able to handle the complexity and dynamics of the battlespace and make decisions faster and better than the adversary.

The general objective is to develop advanced automated support tools for the generation and evaluation of courses of action (COAs) in an MDO context. The toolset is expected to support wargaming of the candidate COAs to ensure that commanders and staff can assess the plan and options in detail before final decision making.

Secured and adaptive underwater communications for UUSs

Closed

Code: 34387 | Identifier Code: EDF-2024-RA-UWW-SACOM-STEP | Programme name: 3564 | Start submission calls: 20/06/2024 | End submission calls: 05/11/2024

Efficient, robust, and secured underwater communication is a key enabler for maritime uncrewed systems (MUS), including the use of uncrewed underwater systems (UUS). There is a need for exchange of classified information in MUS. Identification, authentication and authorisation are important functionalities in the field of digital trusted gateways. Further research needs to be done to overcome the physical characteristics of the underwater environment that limits the possibility of having wireless communication systems with sufficient robustness and bandwidth required by many underwater warfare functions.

The specific objective is to design and demonstrate feasibility of secured (communications security COMSEC and transmission security TRANSEC) underwater (network) communication solutions (acoustic, optical, or other modalities) for UUSs designed for military needs.

These U-CCA systems are expected to be combat ready, hence highly manoeuvrable and, depending on the mission assigned, they should also be able to collect multispectral information from large areas, while identifying and countering potential threats in a wide range of missions including, but not limited to, defensive and offensive counter air, anti-surface warfare (ASuW) and suppression/destruction of enemy air defences (SEAD/DEAD), in a highly contested environment.

Concept study on advanced air-to-air missiles

Closed

Code: 34378 | Identifier Code: EDF-2024-RA-AIR-AAM | Programme name: 3564 | Start submission calls: 20/06/2024 | End submission calls: 05/11/2024

The main objective is therefore to develop at European level concepts and operational requirements for a short-range air to-air missile (SRAAM) to primarily counter modern 5th and future 6th generation combat aircraft and other airborne threats, such as UAS and cruise missiles. Opportunities and limitations are to be explored in various disciplines, such as image processing, target detection, navigation sensors, missile hardware related to kinematic properties, propulsion, warhead unit design, missile guidance, missile control, multi-sensor data fusion, missile computer architecture design, advanced materials (e.g., morphing materials), new production techniques and network integration.

Automated structural modelling for effect prediction

Closed

Code: 34376 | Identifier Code: EDF-2024-RA-DIGIT-ASMEP | Programme name: 3564 | Start submission calls: 20/06/2024 | End submission calls: 05/11/2024

The effects of attacks on structures such as buildings, plants, oil tanks, pipelines, bridges, dams, etc., are a common subject of concern to military planners and engineers, weaponeers, munition designers, battle damage assessors, and modelling and simulation analysts and developers. However, predicting such effects currently involves a large uncertainty due to the difficulty in estimating the relevant characteristics of these structures. There is therefore a need to efficiently estimate such characteristics from available data such as imagery or documentation and to combine them with effect prediction models to provide reliable predictions.

This action aims at new cross-border SOC platforms, as well as supporting those that were already launched under the previous DIGITAL work programme (2021-2022). While the main focus of this action is on processes and tools for prevention, detection and analysis of emerging cyber-attacks, it also foresees in particular the acquisition and/or adoption of common (automation) tools, processes and shared data infrastructures for the management and sharing of contextualised and actionable cybersecurity operational information across the EU.

National SOCs

Opened

National SOCs are public entities given the role at national level to act as clearinghouses for detecting, gathering and storing data on cybersecurity threats, analysing this data, and sharing and reporting Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), reviews and analyses.

The objective is to create or strengthen National SOCs, in particular with state-of-the- art tools for monitoring, understanding and proactively managing cyber events, in close collaboration with relevant entities such as CSIRTs. They will also, where possible, benefit from information and feeds from other SOCs in their countries and use the aggregated data and analysis to deliver early warnings to targeted critical infrastructures on a need-to-know basis.
