Foi publicada pela Comissão Europeia a lista de projetos vencedores dos programas EDIDP (European Industrial Development Programme) e PADR (Preparatory Action on Defence Research).
Num total de 24 projetos aprovados, estão envolvidas 6 entidades nacionais, das quais 4 são membros do Cluster.
Para o programa EDIDP foram validados 16 projetos no total, sendo que 2 deles integram entidades portuguesas – o “ESC2” e o “PANDORA”. Para o programa PADR foram validados 8 projetos no total, sendo que 1 deles integra uma entidade nacional – o “SPINAR”.
- ESC2 – European Command and Control System
Entidades portuguesas integrantes: EDISOFT e CEiiA;
Descrição do projeto: “The proposal covers the development of the advanced European Strategic Command and Control (C2) system, which will contribute to the achievement of the EU new level of ambition. The foreseen activities include a feasibility study and a system design. They will provide an integrated set of solutions, exploiting the emerging technologies in key domains such as the Information Technology and Communication Systems. The project aims at delivering a C2 system fully interoperable with the Command and Control structures / systems from EU, Member States, NATO, and civilian agencies”.
- PANDORA – Cyber Defence Platform for Real-time Threat Hunting, Incident Response and Information Sharing
Entidades portuguesas integrantes: GMV, INESC TEC e CINAMIL;
Descrição original do projeto: “The PANDORA project aims at contributing to EU cyber defence capacity building, by designing and implementing an open technical solution for real-time threat hunting and incident response, focusing on endpoint protection, as well as information sharing. The PANDORA system aims also to promptly detect and classify known and unknown threats, enforce policies on-the-fly to counter these threats, and also exchange threat intelligence information with third parties, at both national and international level. The technical solution developed in PANDORA will be integrated and assessed in a pre-operational environment against two relevant use cases: warship security and military sensor network security.
- SPINAR – Spin-based hardware artificial neural network for embedded RF processing
Entidades portuguesas integrantes: INL – Laboratório Ibérico Internacional de Nanotecnologia;
Descrição orginal do projeto: “Combination of AI and nanotechnology to process radio frequency signals (from radar) to identify the emitter of the signal with very low power consumption and very high efficiency. In SPINAR, an artificial neural network will be implemented directly in hardware, with spin-based nanodevices as neurons and synapses”.
