Title:

5GCOMPAD: 5G Communications for Peacekeeping and Defence

Program:

European Defense Fund

Duration:

36 months

Summary:

5G COMPAD aims to break down hurdles faced by European armed forces, which currently rely on expensive, hardware-locked communication systems with limited data rates and interoperability.

By designing a reference architecture for a 5G-based communications system compatible with existing systems and platforms, and by enabling the recurrent integration of 5G, the project will provide a robust high-speed communication system and enable the rapid introduction of new capabilities. This will ensure sustained information superiority for operational success across the entire conflict spectrum, including peacetime, grey-zone and armed conflicts.
