Grand defence-technological challenges for Europe post-2020

Angelehnt an die "grand societal challenges for Europe" aus dem EU-Forschungsprogramm Horizon 2020 schlägt der Fraunhofer-Verbund für Verteidigung und Sicherheit (VVS) vor, EU-weit sogenannte "grand defense-technological challenges post 2020" zu identifizieren. Aus Fraunhofer VVS-Sicht werden diese Herausforderungen in absehbarer Zeit zu wesentlichen Treibern für strategische Autonomie und technologische Souveränität. Der Fraunhofer VVS schlägt folgende seven Grand Defense-Technological Challenges for Europe post-2020 vor: 1) Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy 2) Digital Battlefield 3) Quantum Technologies for Defense Applications 4) Advanced Radar Technologies 5) Power Supply and Efficiency 6) Next-Generation Effectors 7) Human Performance Enhancement.

Inspired by the "grand societal challenges for Europe" as defined and specified in the EU's Horizon 2020 research programme, the Fraunhofer Group for Defense and Security (VVS) proposes to commonly identify "grand defense-technological challenges post 2020" across the EU that currently are assumed as being already or becoming major drivers for strategic autonomy and technological leadership in the foreseeable future, from the technological point of view. Thus, seven Grand Defense-Technological Challenges for Europe post-2020 as suggested by Fraunhofer VVS are outlined as follows; these GCs should be addressed and further specified with priority in the EDRP: 1) Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy 2) Digital Battlefield 3) Quantum Technologies for Defense Applications 4) Advanced Radar Technologies 5) Power Supply and Efficiency 6) Next-Generation Effectors 7) Human Performance Enhancement.
