Platforms and end-products
Pays European defence-industry consortiums to expand EU production capacity for platforms and end-products such as armoured vehicles, aircraft, radars, naval systems and satellite payloads.
Platforms and end-products is the second EDF-EDIP call for industrial reinforcement of EU production capacity across land, air, naval and underwater defence platforms — armoured vehicles, aircraft, radars, naval systems, satellite payloads and more — run as a single-stage EDF Lump Sum Grant. Proposals need to justify why reinforcing the chosen product's availability and security of supply counts a…
The call funds industrial reinforcement of EU production capacity across land, air, naval and underwater defence platforms, including artillery systems, armoured vehicles, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, counter-UxS systems, missile systems, radars, mine warfare systems, naval platforms, firearms and satellite payloads and terminals. Proposals must target specific production bottlenecks such as forging and machining, key sub-systems, composite materials, assembly and integration, manufacturing-as-a-service, or dual-use industry conversion for defence surge, and must show why reinforcing supply of the chosen product is urgent.
