The ambition is to explore and demonstrate quantum technology solutions in mainly three applicative directions, namely:

Developments concerning specific enabling technologies are intended to be included. Indeed, most of enabling technologies exist already in laboratories. They need now to reach the necessary maturity to meet military operation conditions. This may include: compact cryogenic systems for quantum technologies, fast electronic devices for quantum technologies, specific sources of light for quantum technologies, integration of photonic systems. Quantum radar (based on entangled RF photons, i.e. quantum RF illumination) must not be considered in the proposals since preliminary system analysis have shown operational gains only in very specific and reduced domains of applications.

Some activities covered by the proposals could share multiple communalities, for example in terms of enabling technologies, with other quantum domains of applications (e.g. communication, encryption). The proposals should elucidate potential benefits of current works for these other quantum domains of applications. Targeted activities: Activities aiming to create, underpin and improve knowledge, activities aiming to increase interoperability and resilience, studies, design.
