Innovative propulsion systems for defence applications
The 'Innovative propulsion systems for defence applications' program, under the European Defence Fund (EDF), aimed to foster the spin-in of civil European R&D into the defence sector. Its core purpose was to develop advanced propulsion and energy solutions for military platforms, enabling them to meet EU Green Deal targets while enhancing operational capabilities and strategic autonomy. This initiative sought to bridge the gap between civilian technological advancements and specific military needs, particularly for land and naval domains.
