EPERVIER — Anti-Drone for Projects
Funds portable anti-drone detection and neutralization systems for rapid field deployment and testing.
EPERVIER is Agence de l'innovation de défense's targeted anti-drone call for projects, focused on portable systems that can detect or neutralize hostile FPV racer drones. It is a one-off grant call in France and is framed around short-cycle operational needs rather than long-horizon research. The program asks for solutions that work at 15 metres or more, day or night, in open terrain and urban settings. Acceptable effects include destruction, capture, jamming, or spoofing, and the system must be portable by an individual combatant or a light vehicle. Projects can run for up to eight months, including experimentation, and the call is documented in French for French applicants. The geography is France only. This is a good fit for teams with compact counter-UAS hardware, field-ready software, or integrated sensing and disruption concepts. Applicants need to show they can translate a technical idea into something mobile, fast to test, and credible in a combat environment.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
