ProgrammesEPIIC project aims at tackling the huge challenges of the future air warfare and the collaborative combat by identifying, breeding and assessing highly innovative technologies and disruptive interactive modalities to be integrated to future fighter cockpits. Tomorrow, the presence of the man on board will be justified by his creativity, his ability to decide in uncertainty, under strong time constraints, with or without assistance, but also to recover from an unexpected technical failure.
The cockpit is where the pilot interacts with the system. It must be designed to get the job done quickly, efficiently and intuitively. The cockpit must also be capable of understanding the pilot's physiological, cognitive and emotional state, for example to anticipate phenomena impacting mission performance or flight safety (tunnelling, decision-making capacity).
Two thematic have been emphasised that will host subject to be proposed to the community through open-innovation calls: the crew monitoring and the innovative interaction modalities.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: This open call for innovation is open to a wide range of participants, including: Laboratories, Research Institutes, Startups, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), Large Companies.
The applicants for a possible participation shall be established in the European Union or associated countries, as per the European Defence Fund eligibility rules.
Registration deadline: 2nd of February 2024!

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
