Modelling & simulation supported AI framework for military decision-making and training
Open
Status as published by the data source.
Scope:
The objective of this topic is to assess the feasibility of creating an AI framework for defence applications as a springboard for developing future tactical intelligence concepts by providing military simulation capabilities, historical data sets, a rich scenario and benchmark database, access to doctrinal models and output from previously developed AI services. This would also enable a common simulation framework for war games/combat simulations with the potential to similarly facilitate improved learning support in mission planning and execution, including through AI-enabled battlespace simulation.
Beyond defence technologies, this topic also contributes to the STEP objectives as defined in the STEP Regulation in the target investment area of deep and digital technologies.
Targeted types of activities: Studies and design, not excluding upstream and downstream activities eligible for research actions.
Indicative budget: EUR 16 000 000 for this topic under the EDF-2026-RA call.
Range of financial contribution of the EU per proposal: The requested funding cannot exceed EUR 8 000 000.
Indicative number of proposals to be funded: Several proposals may be funded for this topic.
