6 Research & Technology } EDA promotes, facilitates and manages Research and Technology activities in the 12 technology domains covered by CapTechs in order to develop knowledge and technologies needed for future Defence capabilities. 6

7 CapTechs Technology domains & networks Capability, Armament & Technology European Synergies and Innovation Information Superiority Intervention & Protection Innovative Research Communication Information Systems & Networks System of systems, Battlelab and Modelling & Simulation Aerial Systems Ground Systems Naval Systems Ammunition Technology Materials & Structures Technologies for Components and Modules Radio Frequency Sensors Technologies Electro-Optical Sensors Technologies CBRN Protection and Human Factors Guidance & Control Energy WG The detailed technical coverage of each group is posted on the EDA WEBSITE 7

8 What is a CapTech? A Capability Technology group ("CapTech") is a working group of the EDA dedicated to a particular technology area Main objectives: } Generate collaborative R&T Projects within technology scope, } Support EDA participating Member States in the preparation of wider Programmes. 8

9 CapTech Naval Systems and Their Environment CapTech Naval Systems and Their Environment is a group of 250+ maritime experts whose task is to map potential areas for European cooperation and prepare new projects. CAPABILITY NEEDS: Protect sea lines of communication, ensure freedom of movement and provide logistics in theatre TECHNOLOGIES/RESEARCH DOMAINES: Surface and underwater platforms Underwater sensors Naval weapon systems and countermeasures Simulators, training systems and synthetic environments Naval operating environment including oceanography PROJECTS/PROGRAMMES: Unmanned Maritime Systems programme consisting of 15 coordinated projects with 11 contributing Members. The total volume of the programme is 56 M. Individual projects include Protection of Marine Mammals and Flow in Service (Propeller Performance) 9

10 CapTech Materials & Structures CapTech Materials & Structures promotes and manages research in underpinning technologies on structures and materials from design to wearability and repair. It encompasses considering usability and resistance, protection, signature behavior properties, addressing also materials technology science. The work is generally of TRL in the ranges of 2 to 4, although work in higher TRLs is not ruled out. CAPABILITY NEEDS: The Protection, task is to promote Stealth, collaborative Logistic support, projects Availability and activities. of systems Through life support Maintenance - Reparability - Sustainability, Maneuverability and mobility Survivability. TECHNOLOGIES/RESEARCH DOMAINES & DRIVERS: Structural & Smart Materials Structural Mechanics & Processing Signature Related Materials Lethality & Platform Protection Design Technologies for Platforms and Weapons PROJECTS/PROGRAMMES (e.g.) : BaToLUS: Battle Damage Tolerance for Lightweight UAV Structures CCNS: Corrosion Control on Navy Ships PATCHBOND: Bolt free battle and operational damage repairs of metal and composite aircraft structures ALOMAS: Advanced Low Observable Materials And Structures CERAMBALL: Light weight ceramics for ballistic protection 15
