Development of ecosystem and next-generation capabilities for a secured European Critical Communication System in civil security

Call UE del programma Horizon Europe (HORIZON), bando "Civil Security for Society 2026" (HORIZON-CL3-2026-01). Tipo di azione: HORIZON Innovation Actions. Stato: aperta. Prossima scadenza: 05/11/2026 (single-stage). Testo ufficiale (in inglese): Scope: The European Union Critical Communication System (EUCCS) is a flagship initiative aiming at gradual development of a unified, secure, and interoperable communication infrastructure to support critical public safety and civil security operations across Europe. Aims to provide law enforcement, first responders, emergency services, and other critical sectors with reliable, real-time communication capabilities, even in challenging or high-risk environments. This topic aims to streamline the creation of an integrated ecosystem for secure and resilient communication systems that support civil security operations across Europe. It aims to advance next-generation capabilities, ensuring robust, scalable, and interoperable communication systems tailored to the critical civil security functions that will be required for the future EUCCS, taking into consideration the ongoing migration of the EU towards post-quantum cryptography. The action funded under this topic will develop secure communication devices and applications that meet the unique needs of practitioners across various disciplines. These solutions will go beyond current technologies, enabling specialized, ruggedized devices that support hands-free capabilities, including…
