Call
Detailed Call Description
In order to enhance situational awareness and operation superiority, there is a EU requirement to improve detection, tracking and identification capabilities of over wide areas, with increased range of detection and minimum latency. High frequency (HF) over-the-horizon (OTH) systems need therefore to be improved whilst an EU concept for cognitive and scalable network of HF OTH sensors could be investigated.
The proposals must conclude to the creation of a proof of concept for the intended solution. This will exhibit the intended functionality and act as a testbed for the development of prototype-scale projects in the future.
Activities aiming to increase interoperability and resilience, studies, design. The targeted activities should in particular include:
- Integrating knowledge
- Studies
- Design
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
100%
