Description

Objective:

The objectives of the Instrument are to foster the competitiveness and efficiency of the EDTIB by speeding up its adjustment to the new security environment and to foster cooperation in defence procurement processes between participating Member States and associated countries.

In this perspective, actions involving cooperation for common procurement of the most urgent and critical defence products, including those revealed or exacerbated by the response to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, will be targeted by the funding priorities of the Work Programme. The latter in particular aim to ensure timely availability of sufficient quantities to fill the most urgent capability gaps, as referred to in Chapter 4 of the Joint Communication on Defence Investment Gaps Analysis of 18 May 2022.

Scope:

Any eligible action as defined in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2023/2418, that aims at supporting common procurement for a wide range of capabilities/systems of platforms and platform systems, including but not limited to tanks, armoured vehicles, support vehicles, combat platforms, soldier systems, or its sub systems and the replacement of legacy systems.

EDIRPA targets cooperation in defence procurement between at least 3 Member States or EDIRPA associated countries. The cooperation should concern the common procurement of defence systems or variants of systems.

The activities to be funded are all those required for the set-up and operationalisation of common defence procurement in the area of platforms and the replacement of legacy systems.

Expected Impact:

The outcome should contribute to the reinforcement of platform systems for the participants, and possibly replace Soviet-era legacy systems as well as to replenish capabilities reduced by donations to Ukraine and Moldova. It is also intended to lead to increased interoperability among participants.

The expected estimated value of a common procurement for actions under this topic aiming to ensure the availability of sufficient quantities of the most urgent and critical defence products to fill the most urgent capability gaps is EUR 250 000 000.
