ClOud iNtelligent explosiVe detectiOn sYstem

The CONVOY project addresses the EDF-2022-LS-RA-CHALLENGE-DIGIT-HTDP call on the development of unmanned ground and aerial systems for hidden threats detection. Due to the evolution of the defence context in Europe and the world, EU land forces need to operate in high intensity environments facing potential technically advanced threats such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) or landmines. It is one of the major causes of casualties of EU defence forces and countering these hidden threats is essential to protect soldiers and enhance operational efficiency. Scenarios typically encountered by armed forces, such as route clearance, represent a challenge and existing technology, where single detections are performed, does not provide the expected detection confidence to ensure soldier protection. The CONVOY project is based on the development and integration of a CONVOY demonstrator that will evolve through the participation in four evaluation campaigns.

RMA will co-develop a CONVOY demonstrator that will consist of a set of different integrated components based on a multi-sensor approach.

The CONVOY project is financed by the European Commission through the European Defence Fund under grant 101121250
