It also enhances industrial competitiveness and promotes interoperability throughout Europe. The 2022 EDF work programme addresses in total 33 topics structured along eight calls for proposals \u2013 to be opened in early June &#8211; to kick-start a number of large emblematic projects. It targets relevant defence technologies and capabilities in line with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eda.europa.eu\/what-we-do\/all-activities\/activities-search\/capability-development-plan\">EU capability priorities<\/a>\u00a0commonly agreed by Member States and further elaborated in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/data.consilium.europa.eu\/doc\/document\/ST-7371-2022-INIT\/en\/pdf\">Strategic Compass<\/a>. In addition, the 2022 EDF work programme also ensures continuity of funding for some important projects initiated under the two EDF precursor programmes.<\/p>\n<p>This year, with a budget of more than \u20ac120 million for each, two critical domains will be put in the spotlight to support capability developments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Space<\/strong>, where funding will be provided for the development of space-based missile early warning capabilities and innovative multi-sensor space-based Earth observation capabilities for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. In addition, funding will be foreseen for research for a responsive space system able to place small satellites in various types of orbits swiftly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Naval combat<\/strong>, where funding will be provided for (i) actions related to the development of a vessel class particularly suitable for small and medium-sized navies; and (ii) the development of a European naval collaborative surveillance capability that will enable navies to face smaller, faster and more diverse new evolving threats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, \u20ac70 million will be allocated to R&amp;D efforts in each of the two following categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cyber<\/strong>, in order to improve the European capabilities in terms of cyber situational awareness, cybersecurity and resilience, and to develop a defence cyber and information warfare toolbox.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Information superiority<\/strong>, for projects contributing to the development of a European Command and Control system and a deployable special-operations command post. In the research domain, funding efforts will focus on interoperability and data exchange between civil and military control centres in the context of the Single European Sky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>High-end defence capabilities and enabling technologies are also addressed through different categories of actions. These include the development of a medium-size tactical cargo aircraft contributing to military mobility, airborne electronic warfare, collaborative combat for land forces, technologies and sustainable components for underwater applications, including underwater manned-unmanned teaming and swarms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/the-council-adopts-the-2030-policy-programme-path-to-the-digital-decade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/josep-borrell-debate-parlamento-europeo_98-620x380.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/the-council-adopts-the-2030-policy-programme-path-to-the-digital-decade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Strategic Compass for a stronger EU security and defence in the next decade<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Supporting the \u20ac2 billion EU Defence Innovation Scheme<\/h3>\n<p>The EU Defence Innovation Scheme will bring under one umbrella relevant EU initiatives in support of defence innovation and entrepreneurship.
