EICACS project (European Initiative for Collaborative Air Combat Standardization) kicked-off at the beginning of 2023, at the Dassault Aviation headquarters Saint-Cloud, France.
The grant contract, awarded by the European Commission on 19 December 2022, brings together 37 industrial partners and research organizations from 11 European Union countries uder the coordination of Dassault Aviation.
Supported by the European Union to the tune of 75 M€ within the framework of the 2021 programme of the European Defence Fund (EDF), this project aims to define, within a European framework, the future interoperability standards for collaborative air combat.
It will strengthen the ability of European air forces to fulfill their missions ever more effectively and to act in coalitions involving both manned and unmanned systems, future air combat systems and existing platforms, as well as their upgrades.
The project is co-funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Commission. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
