The European Commission confirmed that a €90 million pilot programme of military research will get under way next year and said a potential €3.5 billion could be allocated to defence R&D between 2021 and 2027.
Technology fields covered by the new pilot will include electronics, metamaterials, encrypted software and robotics. A new surveillance drone system is one example of a project the fund would back.
The new defence pilot and eventual programme will be "a very different animal” from Horizon 2020, according to a Commission official.
