D-STORM FSTP Call 1 - Loitering Munitions & UCAS: Use Cases, Scenarios and CONOPS
Run by Drone-based Scalable Tactical Operations Responsive Munitions · Can apply alone
What this call funds
This call pays organisations, especially SMEs and start-ups, to share real operational knowledge about loitering munitions and uncrewed combat air systems, particularly lessons from the Ukrainian conflict. Contributors provide structured input through questionnaires, interviews and a workshop, which feeds into a defence project's use cases, scenarios, CONOPS and requirements. It is a short, low-budget engagement rather than a research or development grant.
