Scope:This topic aims to follow up and complement previous activities for the development of an endo-atmospheric interceptor by maturing key technologies required to successfully counter hypersonic and ballistic threats up to TRL 6. It should build on specific concept designs and advance the required technologies by developing dedicated demonstrators, e.g. for airframe, propulsion, platform separation, lethality, threat tracking and acquisition.This topic contributes to the STEP objectives as defined in the STEP Regulation in the target investment area of defence technologies. Management mode: Action implemented in indirect management by the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation.Form of funding: Contribution Agreement.Entrusted tasks:Implementation of actual cost grants following a competitive call.Targeted types of activities: Studies, design, system prototyping and testing, not e...

Expected Impact:The expected impacts of this call include:1. Increased security and resilience of the EU's submarine cable infrastructure through the deployment of cutting-edge smart cable technologies, which will contribute to the digital sovereignty and strategic autonomy of the EU.2. Enhanced coordination and sharing of vital data among Member States, enabling the detection and monitoring of threats and facilitating appropriate responses to ensure the continuity of critical services across the Union.3. Advanced environmental monitoring (e.g. climate change) and enhanced civil protection against potential natural disasters, achieved by sharing pertinent data with the scientific community and relevant authorities.Key performance indicators for this topic will include:1. The total length (km) and approximate targeted area (location, km2) of submarine cable systems (including cables’ name...

Expected Impact:The expected impact of the supported project include:• significantly improved security and resilience of the EU backbone networks;• strengthened quality of connectivity within the Union as well as with third countries;• capacity, security and resilience of the overall backbone network infrastructure benefit all EU end-users;• benefits surpass those directly related to the individual supported projects and contribute to bridging the digital divide and ensuring widespread access to the Gigabit networks for all EU end-users and businesses.Key performance indicators for this topic will include: i) the total length of the backbone, and ii) the additional (significant) transmission capacity created as a result of the projects supported by CEF. For submarine cables the number of fibre pairs, the current capacity per fibre pair, as well as the technology chosen and whether the sy...

Scope:The aim of this topic is to follow up and complement previous activities in the field of the next generation self-protection systems in order to increase the survivability of fixed wing and rotary wing, combat or non-combat aircraft in hostile environments.This topic is aimed at modular integration with both fixed and rotary wing aircraft, providing protection against direct and indirect threats based on open architecture and international standards, while protecting sensitive data and ensuring compatibility with other platforms. Key features include automatic coordination of countermeasures, threat detection and classification, and the ability to operate in complex environments. For indirect threats, the system should gather intelligence, disrupt enemy tracking and enable collaborative protection with other platforms.This topic contributes to the STEP objectives as defined in the...

Scope:Smart and multifunctional textiles allow various components and devices to be integrated into uniforms and soldier systems. This extends their range of functions, which can include environmental and physiological monitoring of the soldier, localisation, communication, protective functions (e.g. concealing a soldier's visual, radar and electromagnetic signatures from enemy sensors and surveillance technologies, fire protection and neutralisation of hazardous chemicals). Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has highlighted the critical operational need for protection of dismounted soldiers, particularly against drones, and triggered the definition of updated soldier system requirements.The objective of this topic is to follow up and complement previous activities in the field of smart and multifunctional textiles with a view to developing an individual camouflage solution, both...
