Funded Projects

ECOBALLIFE

ECOBALLIFE is a project funded by the European Defence Fund (EDF) under the 2021 EDF call on Materials and structures for enhanced protection in hostile environments.

With a budget of €10M, the project aims to enhance the interoperability and integration of defence systems and capabilities across the EU, strengthen the competitiveness and innovation of the European defence industry, and contribute to the strategic autonomy and security of the EU and its citizens.

During the 42-month run, the project involves 16 partners from EU countries to deliver several outputs and outcomes, such as reports, publications, guidelines and recommendations, tests, prototypes, and demonstrators. ECOBALLIFE showcases the potential and benefits of the EDF for the advancement of European defence and security.

The project is coordinated by TECNALIA (Spain) and is managed by the European Defence Agency (EDA) under a Contribution Agreement with the European Commission.

AM3aC2A

Approccio Multiscala per la Modellazione di Materiali CMC e UHTCMC per Componenti Riutilizzabili per l’Aerospazio. 

Lo scopo principale del progetto è lo sviluppo di strumenti numerici per la modellazione multi-scala dedicati a materiali specifici per lo spazio e la loro integrazione con protocolli sperimentali per la definizione di una metodologia di progetto per termostrutture spaziali riutilizzabili.

CHRZASZCZ

Optimization of APU Exhaust Muffler Thermal Barrier and Air Intakes construction Technologies.

The aim of this project is to develop new materials construction concepts to be used for APU’s Air Intakes and Exhaust Muffler, that will meet specific functional requirements related, among others to weight reduction, noise attenuation, thermal and fire protection and end with a full scale components’ design and manufactured ground demonstrators.
