The outcomes should contribute to:
- A stronger, more competitive, and technologically independent European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) when it comes to solutions for cybersecurity penetration test automatisation and capability to test the security posture of operational computer networks and emulate threat agents during training, exercises, and system tests.
- Enhanced security for EU Member States and EDF Associated Countries and more capable and interoperable forces performing cyber defence operations,
- Promote cooperative efforts in this area leveraging the implementation of EU Policy on Cyber Defence (EPCD)
Unmanned vehicles (UxV) such as drones, ground vehicles, and surface/underwater vessels are bound to become an integral part of military operations. Advanced autonomous capabilities are being developed for these systems to enable them to carry out different missions, both with and without human intervention, thus increasing efficiency and minimising risk. From a security perspective, this poses various new challenges that need to be properly resolved to deploy these vehicles in real missions and exploit their full potential.
The cyber-physical nature of UxVs affects security in various way. It brings the attack surface of a typical computer (network) into a new context where successful cyber-attacks can have serious consequences in the physical world, while imposing new physical and
