Expected Impact: Projects are expected to deliver results aligned with the expected results set out in this call topic and to evidence their contribution through dedicated KPIs defined in the proposal. Expected results include: • tangible capacity increases in EU-based production enabling the ramp-up of the targeted platforms or end-products, with demonstrated contribution to competitiveness ; • improved resilience & geographical distribution of supply and industrial capability, reducing single points of failure across forging/machining, key sub-systems, composites and assembly/integration; • strengthened availability and security of supply of the targeted platforms or end-products with identified risks and exposure to the risk of materialisation of conventional military threats; • and measurable lead-time reductions , establishment or availability of reserved capacity where applicable, and workforce traine d to operate and sustain the reinforced production lines (including, where relevant, MaaS and dual-use conversion pathways). Proposals shall define, baseline and track KPIs such as added throughput (e.g., units/month of platforms/end-products or critical sub-systems;…

Expected Impact: Projects are expected to deliver results aligned with the expected results set out in this call topic and to evidence their contribution through dedicated KPIs defined in the proposal. Expected results include: • demonstrable and sustainable increase in production capacity in UA for the targeted (counter-)UxS-related production lines; • measurable reduction of production lead time from order/production decision to delivery in UA; • improved t imely availability and supply of defence products in UA , including increased delivery reliability and readiness of production lines; • effective cross-border cooperation between UA and EU that enables production ramp-up, integration, qualification and sustainment; • strengthened Ukrainian industrial base, and, where applicable, operationalised MaaS and dual-use heavy industry conversion pathways for surge. Proposals shall define, baseline and track KPIs such as: production output (units/month), time-to-rate, lead-time reduction, line availability/uptime, qualified output delivered in UA, MaaS throughput, surge conversion readiness indicators, and workforce trained where relevant—alongside risk-related indicators…

Expected Impact: The results of the activities should contribute to support common procurement, leading to strengthening the cooperation among Member States and associated countries, as well as to greater interoperability. Furthermore, they should contribute to the development and the procurement of common platforms and subsystems. Objective: This topic aims to support the common procurement of a wide range of capabilities or systems of ground and naval platforms or parts thereof, including but not limited to artillery systems, (counter)-mobility platforms, tanks or other armoured vehicles, support vehicles, combat platforms, soldier systems, surface and underwater naval platforms or their sub-systems. Scope: Common procurement actions under this topic shall consist of activities related to the cooperation of legal entities in the procurement of ground, naval platforms and systems, at any point in the life cycle of such defence products, including for the purpose of establishing, managing and maintaining defence industrial readiness pools. To achieve the expected impact, the estimated value of a common procurement proposed for actions under this topic shall be at least EUR 80 000…

Expected Impact: The results of the activities should contribute to support common procurement, leading to strengthening the cooperation among Member States and associated countries, as well as to greater interoperability.
