Ammunition Waste Collection and Disposal Unmanned Platform
Open
Status as published by the data source.
Scope:
This topic aims to develop a prototype of a semi-autonomous remote management system, integrated with adaptive hardware that continuously learns and improves its ability to identify and dispose of potential objects. The primary objective is to detect and dispose of ammunition waste and residues from military training areas and battlefields. This will significantly reduce the risk factor associated with human involvement, ultimately contributing to a cleaner environment and in line with the ‘green military’ concept.
The performance of the system to be developed is expected to improve over time, allowing it to expand its capabilities and cover larger areas.
Beyond defence technologies, this topic also contributes to the STEP objectives as defined in the STEP Regulation in the target investment area of clean and resource-efficient technologies.
Targeted types of activities: Studies, design, system prototyping, testing, qualification and certification, not excluding upstream and downstream activities eligible for development actions.
Indicative budget: EUR 10 000 000 for this topic under the EDF-2026-DA call.
Indicative number of proposals to be funded: One proposal is to be funded for this topic. However, depending on the quality of the proposals submitted and the budget available, more than one proposal may ultimately be funded for this topic.
