Programme Details

Call

Underwater manned-unmanned teaming and swarms

Detailed Call Description

The aim is to develop swarming technologies up to at least TRL 4 and validated in seawater. The expected result of the research activities performed with the support of this call is a better mission performance result than the one obtained by an individual UxV or platform alone. This should take into account data sources of opportunity. The main challenges or factors to be solved to enable this are the following:

  • The SoS shares a common objective for all the individual components
  • The SoS can be composed of systems, vehicles, and platforms of different nature and capacities
  • The architecture and functions need to be derived and controlled by the task or mission aim that has been defined.
  • The SoS architecture and protocols enables it to utilise resources outside the cooperative system
