Covert sensing
The 'Covert sensing' topic, part of the European Defence Fund (EDF) 2022-RA call, aims to significantly enhance European military sensing capabilities. This program focuses on developing advanced covert sensors and sensor systems, crucial for achieving military information superiority in challenging multi-domain operations. It addresses the critical need for reliable target detection, classification, and tracking while maintaining the stealth of friendly forces.
Who is Funded
The 'Covert sensing' program under the European Defence Fund targets organizations involved in collaborative defence research, focusing on enhancing military sensing capabilities. The program's primary objective is to improve military information superiority by developing advanced covert sensing technologies applicable across EU Member States and Norway.
What is Funded
The 'Covert sensing' program supports research and design activities focused on innovative sensing technologies for defence applications. It emphasizes the enhancement of sensor performance for detecting challenging targets and excludes later-stage development activities like system prototyping or certification.
