Drone-based affordable mass munitions

Objectives: The "Drone-based Affordable Mass Munitions" grant aims to develop new generation affordable munitions capable of massive deployment in a battlefield context, primarily focusing on precision, autonomy, and scalability. The project intends to foster loitering munitions and small unmanned combat aerial systems (UCAS) for tactical and operational effects through research, design, prototyping, and testing. These munitions should incorporate battlefield experience from the Ukraine conflict, bolster European defence capabilities, reduce non-EU dependencies, and offer innovations and business opportunities for SMEs, particularly those new to the defence sector, through financial support.
