ProgrammesThematic call for proposals Pulsed Directed Energy Effectors
Reminder & important change
On 21 August, the Royal Higher Institute for Defence (RHID) will launch a thematic call for proposals “Pulsed Directed Energy Effectors”.
The call will focus on the delivery of technology brick demonstrations up to TRL 4 for directed-energy Counter-UAS technologies, explicitly targeting pulsed microwave and waveform-controlled laser approaches, as a first step toward future proof-of-concept and technology-demonstrator activities.
In contradiction to information that was previously communicated, there is no triple helix requirement for applications in this call. Proposals can be submitted by a single organisation or by a partnership.
Budget of the call is 5 M€.
The projects will have a duration of 12 to 18 months.
Timeline of submission and evaluation will be short as projects must be awarded before the end of this year.
Deadline for pre-proposals: 11 September 2026 (14h)
Deadline for full proposals: 16 October 2026 (14h)
