EDF PROTEAS

Joint Operations that involve Special Operations Forces (SOF) are rapidly becoming a very important instrument for MoDs worldwide and across Europe. It is evident that symmetric and asymmetric threats inside and outside the EU territory require fast response and the ability to rapidly deploy transportable units implementing a Special Operations Forces - Command Post (SOFCP) to areas of interest, during both peace and wartime. The PROTEAS project aims at providing a prototyped deployable SOFCPC2. The proposed project will cover all necessary study, design, system prototyping, testing and validation actions required to engineer a state-of-the-art prototyped SOFCPC2 to support SOF operations in SJO (Small Joint Operations) missions. To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first European effort to develop a SOFCPC2, making the PROTEAS envisaged impact of paramount importance both at national and EU level. The ultimate goal of PROTEAS project is to create the THE FIRST OF ITS KIND Special Operations Forces Command Post for Command and Control (SOFCPC2) to support EU-led SOF Small Joint Operations (SJO) and in compliance with European Union (EU) standards and with the EU-Members and Norway specific operational needs.
