Members -
The objective is to develop the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) in the area of materials and components technologies, specifically those for which the security of supply and the freedom of use may be restricted. The project will also enhance the competitiveness, the innovation and the efficiency of the EDTIB by supporting collaborative actions and cross border cooperation.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will be organised according to the following: the participating member states will jointly define the priorities for the development of materials and components technologies and define a roadmap taking into account the funding the participating member states may provide to support development activities, define common requirements, launch research and development activities according to the roadmap. Materials and components could include for example electronic components for radars, sensors, navigation systems or embedded intelligence, high performance structural materials, stealth materials and materials for armours.
OBJECTIVES/PRODUCTS
The objective of this project is to develop the EDTIB in the area of materials and components technologies, specifically those for which the security of supply and the freedom of use may be restricted.
