European command and control system
The European Command and Control System (EDF-2022-DA-C4ISR-EC2) is a European Defence Fund initiative designed to address critical shortfalls in the EU's military Command and Control (C2) capabilities. This program aims to develop an effective and robust Joint C2 system, enhancing the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) to achieve full operational status. It is crucial for improving interoperability and reducing reaction times for EU military missions.
Who is Funded
The European Command and Control System (EDF-2022-DA-C4ISR-EC2) program targets entities within the European Union and Norway that are actively involved in advancing defence capabilities, specifically focusing on military Command and Control (C2) systems. Its primary objective is to enhance the EU's strategic autonomy by addressing critical capability gaps in military C2 infrastructure, thereby improving mission effectiveness and interoperability across Member States and Norway.
What is Funded
This program primarily funds the development of a European command and control system, focusing on software-based solutions and critical military C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) capabilities. Supported activities span from studies and design to prototyping, testing, qualification, and certification, targeting projects that advance military operational readiness and interoperability across multiple defence domains.
Type and Scope of Funding
The European command and control system program offers grant funding for development actions, with varying rates that can be enhanced by specific bonuses. While detailed financial limits per project are not specified, the overall objective indicates a project completion target by the end of 2025.
Conditions and Requirements
Applicants and beneficiaries of the European command and control system program must adhere to specific conditions for application, collaboration, and various operational provisions. Key requirements include detailed stipulations on admissibility, financial and operational capacity, and the mandatory formation of multi-beneficiary consortia.
Application Procedure
The application process for the European command and control system program follows a single-stage submission procedure, requiring adherence to specific guidelines for proposal preparation and submission. Evaluation is based on predefined award criteria, with decisions communicated through established award channels.
Legal Basis
The European Command and Control System program is firmly rooted in the European legal framework, primarily authorized by the European Defence Fund Regulation.
