Szanowni Państwo,
Komisja Europejska przyjęła roczny program prac na 2026 r. w ramach Europejskiego Funduszu Obronnego
Szczegółowa informacja poniżej:
On 17 December 2025, the Commission adopted the European Defence Fund’s 2026 Annual Work Programme, earmarking €1 billion for collaborative research and development (R&D) in the field of defence.
The EDF Work Programme 2026 addresses 31 call topics in total, structured along seven thematic calls for proposals, three non-thematic calls for proposals, one action to focus on threats from hypersonic glide vehicles, and two actions in support of the EU Alliance for defence medical countermeasures.
Commonly agreed critical defence capability priorities remain at the forefront, with half of the budget earmarked to support collaborative R&D on major defence capabilities. This includes the development of an EU endo-atmospheric interceptor, a main battle tank, a multiple rocket launcher, and a semi-autonomous vessel.
One quarter of the budget is allocated to critical technologies and capabilities in a variety of forward-looking areas, including quantum-secured networks, electronic warfare, multi-domain operations cloud and high-performance energy systems. The last quarter is dedicated to implementing the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS)
, which supports innovation and disruptive technologies for defence applications through targeted measures. This includes around €60 million for disruptive technologies, and €60 million dedicated for non-thematic calls for proposals for SMEs.
The EDF helps reduce the fragmentation in investment in the development of European defence technologies and capabilities. It also strengthens industrial competitiveness and promotes interoperability across Europe. Since the EDF Regulation came into force in May 2021, the Commission has committed almost €6.5 billion in total, becoming one of the top investors in defence R&D worldwide.
