El programa tiene como objetivo aprovechar las tecnologías desarrolladas en el ámbito civil que puedan ser de aplicación en proyectos de interés para el Ministerio de Defensa. Los proyectos de I+D deberán desarrollar un demostrador con funcionalidad militar y suponer una novedad tecnológica significativa, que satisfaga una necesidad real o potencial del Ministerio de [...]
Sustainable aircraft circular design and additive manufacturing, towards a climate neutral aviation
Assessing the effect of airport operations on air quality and noise in nearby communities
Noise reduction breakthroughs for new ultraefficient aircraft
Scope: The objective of this topic is to follow up and complement previous activities in the field of smart technologies for next generation fighter systems. It aims to explore future architectures and develop key technologies, including with proofs of concept, demonstrations and prototypes, for the next generation of military integrated modular avionics for use on [...]
Scope: An unmanned aerial vehicle used as unmanned loyal wingman/unmanned combat aerial vehicle requires specific performance for a variety of mission profiles to meet storage, deployment and operational requirements. In particular, an engine that provides optimum thrust and electrical power capabilities is required to meet these performance requirements. Against this background, the aim of this [...]
Scope: This topic aims to follow up and complement previous activities for the development of an endo-atmospheric interceptor by maturing key technologies required to successfully counter hypersonic and ballistic threats up to TRL 6. It should build on specific concept designs and advance the required technologies by developing dedicated demonstrators, e.g. for airframe, propulsion, platform [...]
Scope: Assisting soldiers with robots and drones that can provide accurate tactical situational awareness by using AI becomes essential for soldier protection. This call topic aims to follow on and complement previous activities in the field of hidden threat detection and explore solutions involving various combinations of intelligent robots, drones and sensing technologies for advanced [...]
Scope: Air-to-air refuelling enhances military operations by enabling long-range missions. Refuelling currently requires manual coordination between tanker operators and receiving pilots, which is complex and labour-intensive. Automated air-to-air refuelling solutions are expected to reduce workload and increase safety for both crews, while also being essential for future unmanned aerial systems. The objective of this topic [...]
Scope: There is a need for a new multirole light aircraft that can bridge the gap between today’s battlefield and modern technology, as most of the fleet in this segment across the EU is ageing. The future multirole light aircraft (FMLA) concept must not duplicate or create fragmentation of existing systems of turboprop and tactical [...]
Clean Aviation, the European Union’s leading research and innovation programme that aims to transform aviation towards climate neutrality and sustainability, will launch its 4th programme call in February 2026. On 13 February, Clean Aviation will host an event in Brussels where potential applicants can pitch their technical competences and capabilities in relation with the topics provided in the draft [...]
