Belgium – Military research and technology – Uptake of Innovation Autonomous Systems for Cross-domain Logistics: Service contracts for the provision of innovative solutions to participate in an operational experimentation with unmanned systems in the air and land domains

EDA intends to award a single Framework Contract (FWC) to a service provider to support EDA and EU MSs in the design, execution and evaluation of a military operational experimentation campaign. The specific objectives of this FWC comprise the delivery of the following elements: Develop a methodology to assess the capability maturity of products/prototypes. Develop an experimental design that clearly articulates the objectives, hypotheses, and methodologies, in close cooperation with EDA and MS representatives. Support in the planning and execution of the experimental campaign in close cooperation with EDA, the Host Member State and the industries involved. Collected data during the experimentation, analyse them and assess the experimental observations to derive reliable, actionable insights on the DOTMLPFI implications of future integration in capabilities of the products that participated in the OPEX. Support EDA and the Host Member State in the organization of a VIP demonstration day to showcase the experimental outcomes to high-ranked stakeholders.
