Legal Basis

Council Decision 2015/1835– EDA Functions and tasks

[(d) support defence technology research, and coordinate and plan joint research activities and the study of technical solutions meeting future operational needs, in particular by: (i) promoting, in liaison with the Union's research activities where appropriate, research aimed at fulfilling future security and defence capability requirements and thereby strengthening Europe's industrial and technological potential in this domain; (ii) promoting more effectively targeted joint defence R&T; (iii) catalysing defence R&T through studies and projects; (iv) managing defence R&T contracts; (v) working in liaison with the Commission to maximise complementarity and synergy between defence and civil or security-related research programmes;

What is a CapTech?

A Capability Technology group ("CapTech") is a working group of the EDA dedicated to a particular technology area

Main objectives: } Generate collaborative R&T Projects within technology scope, } Support EDA participating Member States in the preparation of wider Programmes.

CapTech Naval Systems and Their Environment

• Protect sea lines of communication, ensure freedom of

movement and provide logistics in theatre

• Surface and underwater platforms
• Underwater sensors
• Naval weapon systems and countermeasures
• Simulators, training systems and synthetic environments
• Naval operating environment including oceanography
• Unmanned Maritime Systems programme consisting of 15 coordinated projects with 11

contributing Members. The total volume of the programme is 56 M€.

• Individual projects include Protection of Marine Mammals and Flow in Service (Propeller

Performance)

CAPABILITY NEEDS: TECHNOLOGIES/ RESEARCH DOMAINES: PROJECTS/ PROGRAMMES:

CapT ech Naval Systems and Their Environment is a group of 2 5 0 + maritime experts whose task is to map potential areas for European cooperation and prepare new projects.

CapT ech Materials & Structures promotes and manages research in underpinning technologies on structures and materials from design to wearability and repair. It encompasses considering usability and resistance, protection, signature behavior properties, addressing also materials’ technology science. The work is generally of TRL in the ranges of 2 to 4 , although work in higher TRLs is not ruled out . The task is to promote collaborative projects and activities.

CapTech Materials & Structures

• Protection, Stealth, Logistic support, Availability of systems –

Through life support – Maintenance - Reparability - Sustainability, Maneuverability and mobility – Survivability.

• Structural & Smart Materials
• Structural Mechanics &

Processing

• Signature Related Materials
• BaT
• LUS: Battle Damage T
• lerance for Lightweight UAV Structures
• CCNS: Corrosion Control on Navy Ships
• PA

TCHBOND: Bolt free battle and operational damage repairs of metal and composite aircraft structures

• ALOMAS: Advanced Low Observable Materials And Structures
• CERAMBALL: Light weight ceramics for ballistic protection

CAPABILITY NEEDS: TECHNOLOGIES/ RESEARCH DOMAINES & DRIVERS: PROJECTS/ PROGRAMMES (e.g.) :

• Lethality & Platform Protection
• Design T
