The European Commission has announced the results of the competition under the European Defence Fund (EDF) 2021 supporting R&D projects in the area of advanced technologies in the field of security and defence of EU countries. The winning applications include two, submitted by the consortia of which Łukasiewicz – Institute of Aviation is a member: EU HYDEF and NEUMANN.
EU HYDEF (European Hypersonic Defense Interceptor) is a conceptual project aimed at the development of an endo-atmospheric system for intercepting air threats predicted in the 2035+ perspective. The consortium consists of 14 partners from 7 European countries. The project will run for 36 months. The project budget is EUR 110 million.
NEUMAN (Novel Energy and propUlsion systeMs for Air dominance) is a project aimed at developing a proposal of technological solutions in the field of propulsion systems / subsystems and energy management for fighter aircraft engines. The consortium consists of 38 partners from 14 European countries. The project will run for 38 months. The project budget is EUR 56.5 million.

The Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation is one of the most modern research facilities in Europe, with traditions dating back to 1926. The Institute closely cooperates with global tycoons of the aviation industry, such as: GE, Airbus, Pratt & Whitney, and institutions from the space industry, including the European Space Agency. Strategic research areas of the Institute are aviation, space and unmanned technologies. It also provides research and services for domestic and foreign industries in the field of materials, composite, additive, remote sensing, energy and oil&gas technologies.
The Łukasiewicz Research Network provides attractive, complete and competitive technological solutions. It offers a unique system of “challenging” to business, thanks to which a group of 4,500 scientists in no more than 15 working days accepts the business challenge and proposes the entrepreneur to develop an effective implementation solution. At the same time, it involves the highest competences of scientists in Poland and a scientific apparatus unique in Poland. What is most important – the entrepreneur does not bear any costs related to the development of an idea for research work. Łukasiewicz meets the expectations of business in a convenient way. The entrepreneur may decide to contact us not only through the form at https://lukasiewicz.gov.pl/biznes/ but also in more than 50 locations: the Łukasiewicz Institutes and their branches throughout Poland. They will receive the same – high quality – product or service everywhere. The Łukasiewicz potential is focused around such research areas as: health, intelligent mobility, digital transformation and sustainable economy and energy.
