Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) announced a Call ‘Cloud, Data and Artificial Intelligence (DIGITAL-2023-CLOUD-AI-04)’.

The expected outcome is:

·       a commercially viable highly-secure cloud-based collaborative platform for the management of industrial programmes in the aeronautics and security sector

·       the governance implications that the operations of such a platform would have on the sector, notably how such platform can operate, be deployed, be accessed, and how projects can be managed through their lifecycle.

·       a significant contribution to the discussions for an EU-level single set of rules and accreditation for data sharing in the aeronautic and security sector.

The objective is to develop a commercially viable highly secure cloud-based collaborative platform for the management of sensitive multi-country industrial initiatives in the aeronautics and security sector, including civil security.

This platform will allow the development of highly sensitive industrial projects, from design to production.

The need for a new platform derives from the very specific requirements from the aeronautics and security sector. For the full scope, see website announcement.
