BATTLEPAD

End-user devices like tablets and smartphones are becoming increasingly important in modern military operations around the globe. Most of these end-user devices however are neither rugged nor secure enough for use in increasingly complex military environments, involving different mission-classifications, and facing constant cyber- as well as electronic warfare threats. Europe must create its own independent and innovative military computer hardware industry providing for the first time, a fully integrated edge computing and communication platform for secure and future-proof digitalization of Armed Forces.

The Consortium behind project BATTLEPAD is made up of three SME-companies from three EU member states (Austria, Croatia, Slovenia) and wants to be an integral part of that industry, designing innovative end-user devices for military applications built on real-world use-cases.
