EDF-2024-DA-NAVAL-FNP: Functional smart system-of-systems under an integral survivability approach for future naval platforms

07 November 2024|
Expected Impact:

The outcome should contribute to:

  • the commonality of European naval systems to increase interoperability and interchangeability among European defence naval industries and Navies;
  • an integrated survivability of naval vessels, more resilient against future threats, and with a reduced size and safer crew;
  • promoting the EU strategic autonomy in the naval sector, configuring naval forces that respond to national and European strategic needs and trends;
  • reducing the development and maintenance cost of future systems throughout their life-cycle;
  • developing innovative systems, more efficient, scalable, and adaptable to different naval platforms.
Objective:

Evolving operational environment and threats require the development of cutting-edge maritime technologies, solutions, and systems, which should be able to operate interconnected in a fully integrated way under challenging multi-domain (i.e., land, aerial, surface, subsurface, and cyber) threat conditions.

Naval platforms trends are based on technologies, standards, solutions, and systems, all designed from the start to work integrated together in a coherent manner, ensuring the survivability of the platform against emerging threats. Therefore, the main objective of this topic is to identify, define, design, and develop them, to be integrated on future European naval platforms.

The topic should act as a real enabler for both the European naval industry and the EU Navies. In that context, it should
