Belgian companies can apply to join HUB Pendragon in connection with EDPCI ERCUL, a French defence robotics-related project under the European Defence Projects of Common Interest.

Information circulated by AMIAD, the French Ministry of Defence AI agency, includes an application file for industrial participants that want to join HUB Pendragon in the context of EDPCI ERCUL. The message refers to ERCUL as a French project linked to a robotics unit and states that Belgian companies can take part under the registration modalities set out in the attached file.

Two participation routes are mentioned: companies may apply with the intention to contribute to the hub, or they may join as observers. Observer status is described as including invitations to the hub’s plenary meetings once or twice a year.

For Belgian Defence, the project is led by the land component staff under Colonel Deschryver.

Interested Belgian companies should review the attached application file and contact Major Maarten Van Tricht (Maarten.VanTricht@mil.be) for practical arrangements.
