European UAS production-readiness and sustainment reserve

THE CHALLENGE

European manufacturers can design capable systems, but surge production, storage, spare-parts supply, maintenance and repair capacity are often created only after an order. This delays operational availability and shifts excessive ramp-up risk to industry.

PROPOSED ACTION

Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

RESPONSIBLE STAKEHOLDERS

European Commission (DG DEFIS) and participating national ministries of defence

TIMELINE

12 months

TARGET

At least five readiness contracts signed; audited surge and repair exercise completed; tenfold monthly-output capability demonstrated within 90 days; contract-specific spare-parts service levels met.
