European Autonomous Heavy Minesweeping System The aim of the project is to develop a minesweeping system to protect large commercial ships and military re-supply vessels. The project will study, design, prototype and test the main components such as the operator control station and the cybersecurity of unmanned, autonomous, cost-effective heavy minesweeping systems. It will further design alternative payloads for underwater resilience and anti-submarine warfare to demonstrate

Advanced Cross-Border and Multi Domain Interoperability Framework for Improved Collaborative Operational Efficiency for Secure Maritime Borders Maritime surveillance is vital for achieving maritime situational awareness and addressing security challenges, such as illicit activities, irregular migration, pollution, and terrorism. The EU-funded CROSSMARE project will enhance border and maritime surveillance by integrating space, air, surface, and underwater domains. The project

ArmoURed Infantry Ground Assault AURIGA aims to design, develop and prototype key technology bricks, enabled by an open, scalable and modular AIFV system architecture that addresses both current and future threats and requirements. This AIFV system will incorporate innovative and disruptive technologies and demonstrate the potential for upgrading existing AIFVs where applicable. It will combine cutting-edge performance with cost-effectiveness, achieved through modularity and

European Multifunction System Concept applied to Communications, Electronic Warfare and Radar The project creates modular and interoperable systems, establishing standardised hardware and software to boost operational flexibility while minimising electromagnetic spectrum consumption. The design integrates advanced antennas and state-of-the-art technologies to meet strict requirements for size, weight, and power in airborne platforms. Additionally, the programme tackles challe

Advanced European RF Components for Wideband Array-Type Radar, Electronic Warfare and Communication Systems ARRAYS aims at eliminating the supply chain gaps in the availability of advanced transmit / receive chain components within the European market, giving the European system houses an opportunity to develop competitive future communication, electronic warfare and radar systems to be used in modern battlefields. It features a holistic approach tackling the availability of

Artificial Intelligence Warfare Adaptive Swarm Platform The AI-WASP “Artificial Intelligence Warfare Adaptive Swarm Platform” project aims to develop a pioneering solution of AI-based multifunctional aperture and transceiver. The outcome of the project will be a prototype of two different system variants that are to be integrated to small and medium size uncrewed aerial systems and ground vehicles or stations.
