This funding supports projects creating an integrated ecosystem of secure, resilient communication systems for civil security across Europe. It focuses on next-generation capabilities including ruggedized, hands-free devices with wearable sensors and augmented reality. Solutions must ensure high availability, interoperability with EUCCS standards, and robust security via post-quantum cryptography. Projects must involve first responders and address operational needs for effective pan-European collaboration in critical situations.
Applicants must be from eligible countries as per Horizon Europe rules, excluding entities controlled by China. Projects require at least 3 first responder organizations as beneficiaries. Use of Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS data is mandatory if satellite data is involved. Compliance with security
