CDL is involved in EUCINF to develop a toolset for improving cyber and information warfare systems performance and cooperation between European cyber defence institutions
On January 11th, representatives of the EUCINF, a project in the framework of European Defence Fund (EDF) and co-founded by European Union (EU), gathered at the Airbus Defence and Space facilities marking the start of the project.
EUCINF (EUropean Cyber and INFormation warfare toolbox) aims to provide a coherent Cyber Information Warfare toolset including AI-based tools, developed by several partners which improves Cyber and Information Warfare systems performance and cooperation between European cyber defence institutions.
This project involves 12 countries (France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Austria, the Netherlands, Cyprus, and Germany), represented by 20 companies (Airbus DS, Airbus Cyber, Sahar, Bloom, Storyzy, AnozrWay, Forward Global, Approach, Leonardo, BV Tech, Indra, CyEX, Cybernetica, Space Hellas, Tilde, AIT, Hensoldt Analytic, EclecticIQ, 8Bells, and Airbus DS GmbH), and 2 universities (Polytechnic University of Madrid and University of Murcia).
EUCINF KoM Attendances
During the session, representatives from the European Commission, Ministries of Defence (MoDs) and the EUCINF Beneficiaries, reviewed the project, revealed specific use cases and introduced the components of the toolbox. This facilitated a comprehensive understanding of the project, specially about the technical intricacies and the potent tools that will contribute significantly to its success.
EUCINF officially started on 1st December 2023 and is expected to last until November 2026.
The Consortium is now focused on the upcoming March 2024, for the very first technical workshop dedicated to operational use cases, involving representatives from both Ministries of Defence of participating countries and industries.
This project has received co-funding from the European Defence Fund (EDF) under grant agreement N°101121418.
