Expected Impact: The outcome should contribute to: Structure and develop a European ecosystem to support simulation technology for military usages. Establish an EU roadmap for MDO LVC in a multi-national context. Identify and address specific LVC interoperability challenges and gaps in order to establish a cost-efficient LVC training capability for MDO in a multi-national context. Incrementally increase the interoperability of LVC training systems - current and future – to enable the EU Member States’ and EDF Associated Countries’ armed to “plug and train” efficiently. Improve the…

Expected Impact: The outcome should contribute to: Accelerate the battle rhythm of naval operations based on real time exchange of data and synchronised collaboration between naval assets. Optimise data communication requirements (e.g., protocol, bandwidth, latency, throughput). The commonality of EU Member States’ and EDF Associated Countries’ naval systems by proposing a common digital ship architecture, a comprehensive portfolio of related standards, services and products, and a naval combat cloud environment. Increase interoperability and interchangeability among EU Member States’ and EDF…

Expected Impact: The outcome should contribute to: Enhance operational superiority and lifecycle management. Enable breakthroughs such as integrated mission management and systems diagnosis, predictive maintenance facilitating mission planning and mission planning adaptation, simulation and training scenarios, reduced manning and/or autonomous operations. Ensure safer platforms, increased equipment reliability, endurance, and reduced maintenance costs. Facilitate the validation and incorporation of new technologies throughout the platform lifecycle. Enable early risk reduction and digital…

Expected Impact: The outcome should contribute to: Standardisation of testing for dialogue systems. Enhanced clarity on the performances of dialogue systems for all stakeholders, including system developers, funders, and users. Community building at the European defence level. Trustworthy dialogue systems that enhance operational decision-making. Availability of databases to further develop dialogue systems. Objective: Human-AI dialogue systems offer impressive results but are still prone to errors of various types. Moreover, there is no established metric to measure system performances. In…

Expected Impact: The outcomes should contribute to: Enhanced security for EU Member States and EDF Associated Countries for the areas ASW, SBW, ISR, SF, MCM, MDO, protection of critical infrastructure and situational awareness. Use of synergies within European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) to develop common interoperable standards, to avoid duplications or incompatible technology solutions and to reduce development risks/costs. Improvement of EU strategical competitiveness and autonomy. Objective: The rapid emergence of unmanned systems in all military operational domains…
