Two grants awarded by the European Defence Fund 2021

We are pleased to announce that two of our projects have received funding from the European Union. 

European Protected Waveform (EDF-EPW)

With the consortium partners from twelve EU countries, Amphinicy Technologies has been awarded grants from the European Defence Fund 2021 for the new project - European Protected Waveform (EDF-EPW).

The EDF-EPW will develop a secure waveform standard for modern satellite communications. The project aims to study and design a multi-layered security and resiliency solution - focusing on efficiency, security, affordability, and interoperability. This will address growing challenges such as increased satellite throughput demand, dispersed operations, mobility, and emerging security threats.

Amphinicy Technologies, through the company in Zagreb, Croatia, is partnering in the EPW Consortium led by ST Engineering iDirect Europe. The project will run for 39 months. The total project cost will be approximately 30 million euro. The EDF program will cover 25 million euro and 5 million euro will be co-funded by the participating nations' ministries of defence.

Platform to Platform Free Space Optical Link (P2P-FSO)

The P2P-FSO project aims at the development of a free space optical point-to-point communication system between military platforms, overcoming challenges regarding high data rate transfer and communication range, depending on terrain and weather conditions. The light source will be a high-power short-wave infrared laser (SWIR).

Amphinicy Luxembourg is participating as a partner in the consortium that is led by Nexvision from France. The project will last for 45 months. The total funding is estimated to be roughly 3.5 million euro.
