EU COLLABORATIVE WARFARE CAPABILITIES (ECOWAR)

The objective is to increase the ability of the armed forces within the EU to face collectively and efficiently the upcoming threats that are more and more diffuse, rapid, and hard to detect and to neutralize. The envisaged outcome of this project will allow the armed forces within the EU to engage together in actions requiring close interactions and interconnections between diverse current and future warfare platform, from sensors to the effectors, in order to foster their efficiency, interoperability, complementarity, responsiveness and their resilience.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The collaborative warfare concept aims at gaining optimised and long-lasting exchanges of aggregated and enriched information based on data collected through multiple sensors. This ensures an accurate, unified and real-time operation situational awareness that will raise a better comprehension of the involved capabilities, a dramatically improved reactivity against high-end aggressor, a reduced risk of fratricide damages, an upgraded protection and a stronger survivability of the engaged forces. In the end, every platform destined to communicate on the battlefield will be designed or upgraded to plug into the cloud. Information will flow and will be distributed and aggregated through that cloud without any need for interfaces or human intervention from a network to another.
