Call for proposals 2020 - Defence technologies supported by artificial intelligence EDIDP-AI-2020 Open!
Objectives
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to help overcoming the “3V challenge” (volume, variety and velocity) of big data while providing data processing that includes a controlled level of decision based on AI’s knowledge.
This call aims at defining cutting-edge technologies and software solutions to improve the current situation in the following two functional areas:
- Situational awareness and decision-making support (e.g. common recognised picture in different domains: land, sea, air, space or cyber).
- Planning (e.g. logistic planning, operational planning), including modelling and simulation.
Actions
The proposals must cover the study, design, prototyping and testing of the AI-based technologies and solutions (e.g. System of systems/Subsystem of systems PoC).
These activities must in particular include:
- identification of feasible use cases and related requirements definition for AI-based application contexts;
- scouting of contemporary technology that can support agile design and implementation activities;
- collection of data representative of the use cases;
- implementation of verification metrics (scenario simulation using the collected data);
- implementation of technology demonstrator(s);
- verification of the technology demonstrator(s) through simulation of scenarios.
This call covers the following topics:
- EDIDP-AI-2020: Defence capabilities supported by artificial intelligence.
European community funding
The Community provisional funding available for the call for proposals is:
- 5,70 Million EUR (Global Budget)
All the important deadlines
- 01 December 2020 - in 6 months (Deadline for the presentation of proposals)
