Call to #industry and economic operators: procurement cluster on enablers for safe integration of military #air capabilities in the #EuropeanSky Military operations rely heavily on secure and unhindered access to airspace. This access is crucial for all aircraft types, from traditional manned aircraft to the newest unmanned aircraft systems (#UAS). 🛩 However, the growing complexity of #airspace usage, with the introduction of novel technologies and evolving military tactics, presents a significant challenge. Recognizing this complexity, the European Defence Agency has taken a leading role in promoting safe airspace integration. The "Enablers for safe airspace integration of military air capabilities in the European sky" represents a significant initiative aimed at equipping European militaries for efficient and secure airspace access. This cluster initiative encompasses four distinct projects, each tackling specific aspects of safe airspace integration: Lot 1️⃣ - UAS Experimental Integration: focuses on developing and testing new technologies that facilitate seamless and safe integration of UAS into shared airspace, in all spectrum environments – high TRL. Lot 2️⃣ - UAS Risk Assessment: tackles the crucial task of assessing the risks posed by, and to, UAS operating within shared airspace. Lot 3️⃣ - High-Altitude Operations addresses security and defence challenges and opportunities associated with operations conducted at high altitudes. Lot 4️⃣ - Needs-assessment, Market research and Consultation: aims at collecting the requirements of UAS end-users, conducting state of the art review and execution of a market research and consultations on airspace integration of military air capabilities.
