The outcome is expected to contribute to:
- Bring a significant operational differentiator and contribute to enhanced interoperability between armed forces of Member States;
- Develop and increase the maturity of innovative technologies specifically adapted to BLOS engagement;
- Increase EU industry capabilities on BLOS architecture, components and technologies;
- Consolidate European business consortium able to offer competitive solutions for the global market;
- Decrease dependence on non-EU technologies and products.
The performance of land combat systems has proved decisive in recent conflicts, since the availability of mobile (tactical and strategical mobility) precision systems able to provide the necessary high degree of accuracy, efficiency and reactivity, are becoming increasingly important to avoid widespread collateral damage and reduce exposure of friendly forces. In particular, it is essential for Member States' armed forces to provide combat units with increased engagement capabilities without being spotted and with a high level of success and survivability.
Specific objective
Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) engagement is the capability of firing at a target not directly seen by the effector, based on information given by a remote sensor. The Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) capability offers tactical advantages, as mobile units acquire an increased engagement capability with higher kill probability and without being spotted by the adversary.
