Call for proposals 2020 - Air combat capabilities EDIDP-ACC-2020 Open!
Objectives
Air superiority is a key factor for European armed forces to defend European territory and citizens as well as to respond in more remote geographical areas. The 2018 Capability Development Plan (CDP) highlights the importance of developing the suppression of enemy air defence capability, the need to integrate and combine manned and unmanned platforms in a larger operational system, the need for airborne electronic attack capabilities, the ability to carry out deep strikes as well as upgrading or developing next generation combat helicopters, including self-protection systems for fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The 2018 CDP long-term capability analysis also identifies the need to ensure overmatch in air-to-air engagements, including against fully autonomous Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) and to penetrate adversary-controlled airspace to achieve the desired air supremacy.
