Que finance cet appel ?
Scope
The topic supports common procurement of integrated counter-drone systems, such as very short and short range air defence, or parts of them. Parts include sensors, kinetic or non-kinetic effectors (including directed energy weapons) and command and control solutions, used against unmanned aerial, ground, surface or underwater vehicles, whether remotely controlled or autonomous. It is part of the first call for proposals for common procurement actions under the programme.
Eligible activities
Actions consist of cooperation between legal entities in procuring counter-drone systems or their parts at any point in the life cycle, including for establishing, managing and maintaining defence industrial readiness pools. Procurement contracts are expected to allow quick upgrades based on evolving lessons from the battlefield.
Expected impact
Stronger cooperation between Member States and associated countries and greater interoperability; replenishment or growth of counter-drone stockpiles, or establishment of a defence industrial readiness pool; and development and reinforcement of counter-drone solutions as drones are seen as a pressing threat.
