2.1.4 General information

Additional information : Research & Technology (R&T) provides a critical contribution to the preparation of future capabilities. Together with innovative solutions developed by different defence actors, it brings real and tangible operational benefits to Member States’ (MS) armed forces. Europe’s defence systems have been developed thanks to major R&T investments that, given the length of development cycles, were made decades ago. To accomplish its mission as defined in Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1835, EDA promotes, facilitates and manages R&T activities within 15 technology domains (Capability Technology groups – CapTechs ) in order to develop knowledge and technologies needed for future defence capabilities. A CapTech is a working group dedicated to a particular technology area (Area of Responsibility – AoR) linked to the EDA R&T taxonomy. The core task of a CapTech is to gather inputs from the MS experts in order to identify technology gaps and common areas of interest for cooperation. Non-governmental experts (e.g. industries, universities, small and medium enterprises – SMEs, research centres) also contribute to the discussions with ideas for innovation and the most up-to-date technology trends. The purpose of a CapTech is to propose R&T activities in response to agreed defence capability needs and to generate collaborative R&T projects accordingly within a specific technological scope. The CapTechs also contribute to the preparation of projects and programmes not carried out within the CapTech framework, as e.g. in the frame of the European Defence Fund (EDF), with their expertise whenever required. The concept of the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) was introduced during the April 2009 EDA R&T Steering Board meeting. The aim of the SRAs is to provide shared visions between governmental and non-governmental members of each EDA CapTech on the most urgent technical challenges in order to describe scope, AoR and activities and to propose an investment plan. Thus, EDA CapTech SRAs have been established bottom-up, based on priority areas for research indicated by MS where cooperation has been identified as beneficial and where interests and funding can be aligned to support national or multinational capability needs. An SRA is structured into Technology Building Blocks (TBBs) reflecting the different technological areas which are covered by a given CapTech. Each TBB description provides information on the military relevance and the specific technologies to be addressed, and it contains a roadmap containing lines of development, outlining how the specific technological gaps within a given TBB can be addressed.In case of unavailability or disruptions in the functioning of the electronic means of communication provided in Section 5.1.11 in the last 5 calendar days before the time limit for receipt indicated in Section 5.1.12, the contracting authority reserves the right to extend this time limit and publish the extension at the Internet address provided in Section 5.1.11, without a preceding publication of a corrigendum to this notice.
