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 Associated Countries' naval industries and EU Member States and EDF Associated Countries.
- Reduce the costs linked to the development of future systems, their upgrade, looking for continuous/regular capability updates, and their in-service support throughout their life cycle.
- Strengthen the European naval capability landscape and promote EU's strategic autonomy in the naval sector
It is difficult for the armed forces to keep pace with the speed of the development of digital technologies on the civilian market. However, the rapid integration of more powerful devices and applications into naval units is key to provide naval forces with the capabilities needed to successfully conduct their missions.
The adoption of a common ship digital architecture for naval units allows the operation of different systems of the ship (SOTS), either on-board or off-board,
