Future modular multifunctional land platforms and enabling technologies, including green technologies
Funds qualification and certification work that matures modular armoured-vehicle technology, including greener variants, toward deployment.
This Development Action funds work that starts from already-existing enabling technologies rather than generating new ones from scratch -- proposals must center on design, prototyping, testing, qualification and certification, and pure knowledge-generation activities are not eligible under this topic at all. The intended outcome is a qualified, certified family of modular armoured vehicles across …
This topic funds work that increases the maturity of enabling technologies for armoured land platforms — qualification, certification and interoperability of vehicle sub-systems — so EU and associated forces can field a modular, multifunctional vehicle family across logistics, command, evacuation and reconnaissance variants. It also wants reduced environmental and logistic footprint, including cutting toxic substances.
