SMEs must bring their expertise and innovation to Europe to build a defence sector that is fit for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Contributing to the development of Europe&#8217;s critical capabilities\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">In an ever-changing security environment, drones are increasingly being used in wars and hybrid attacks. The development of <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">drone control and counter-drone capabilities<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">has been identified as crucial to protecting the Union from these threats<\/span><span dir=\"auto\">.<\/span><span dir=\"auto\">ALTISS directly supports this objective by <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">providing advanced intelligence,\u00a0 surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">manufactured in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Key features of ALTISS and how it improves force protection\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">ALTISS uses advanced technology to improve<\/span><span dir=\"auto\">drone <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">communication and flight<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">, process images and <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">automatically detect events of interest<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">. The project has <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">three main features <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">that make it particularly valuable:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Rapid detection and identification of targets\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">ALTISS was designed with operational needs in mind, focusing on <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">rapid target detection and identification over large areas<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">. Its software, sensors and integration with drones minimise the time from initial detection to obtaining actionable information, while maintaining wide coverage and long endurance. The system incorporates <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">two complementary payloads<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">: a high-resolution 360\u00b0 optical sensor capable of detecting very small objects, and a compact Communications Intelligence (COMINT) payload for radio detection and geolocation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Autonomous swarm operations<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">ALTISS is designed for <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">autonomous swarm missions<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">, surpassing the traditional model of &#8220;one drone, one pilot and one payload operator&#8221;. A single operator can oversee the entire swarm with the support of AI-assisted mission planning tools and dynamic task assignment. Integrated processing and automatic event detection allow the operator to focus on <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">decision-making <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">rather than continuous monitoring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Coordination of radio signals and images\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">ALTISS combines <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">radio signal detection with visual and infrared imagery<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">. When the system detects an important radio transmission, it automatically directs the camera to focus on it, while integrated image analysis refines the location and classification. This rapid connection between signal and image <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">improves target identification <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">and helps operators make faster and more reliable decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span dir=\"auto\">ALTISS marks a major step forward<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">, moving from individually operated drones to an <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">autonomous, integrated system <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">designed to deliver measurable results across the entire <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">ISR chain<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">This project demonstrates the strength of European cooperation in defence and how it helps Europe achieve <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">defence readiness <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">to protect its citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span dir=\"auto\">About the European Defence Fund<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span dir=\"auto\">Since its launch, the European Commission <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">has invested nearly \u20ac6.5 billion <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">in defence research and development, <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">making the EU one of the world&#8217;s leading investors in defence. <\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">The Fund has a total budget of nearly \u20ac7.3 billion for the period 2021-2027.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu\/strenghtening-europes-drone-capabilities-altiss-under-european-defence-fund-2026-02-26_en\">European Commission.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Defence Fund (EDF) project Highly Automated Swarm of Affordable Long-Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Force Protection (ALTISS) was successfully completed in December 2025.\u00a0 A consortium led by SMEs Selected in the European Defence Fund 2021 call for proposals , ALTISS brings together a consortium led by Magellium SAS, a European small and medium-sized [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":124766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4075,346,4078],"tags":[17670,8810,1357,14503,2718,6040,779,1488,17671,17669,17672,17668,2788,14284,2981,9784,3508,17673,17036],"class_list":{"0":"post-166033","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-defence-security","8":"category-eu-news","9":"category-internat-safety-pol","10":"tag-communicate","11":"tag-decision","12":"tag-defence","13":"tag-detection","14":"tag-drone","15":"tag-edf-en","16":"tag-eu-en","17":"tag-european-commission","18":"tag-fly","19":"tag-geolocation","20":"tag-key","21":"tag-missions","22":"tag-news","23":"tag-operations","24":"tag-protection","25":"tag-pymes-en","26":"tag-radio-en","27":"tag-role","28":"tag-systems","29":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
