Defence Digital Solutions to EU’s Nine Defence Capability Priorities - Survey

DIGITALEUROPE is launching a survey to gather information on Member’s existing products and solutions that can help address the nine capability gaps identified in the 2025 White Paper for European Defence – Readiness 2030, with a specific focus on their digital components. These capability gaps point to a common challenge: Europe cannot strengthen its defence readiness without substantially integrating advanced digital technologies into its defence systems and operations.

DIGITALEUROPE’s members already provide technologies that can help close these gaps. Through this survey, we aim to gather concrete examples of digital solutions that are either available today or expected to reach market readiness within the next 1 – 2 years.

The information collected will help demonstrate to EU policymakers what industry can deliver today, what innovations are emerging, and which enabling conditions are needed to scale these solutions across Europe's defence ecosystem

Rationale The objective of this survey is to map the digital solutions that can support the EU's nine defence capability priorities.

For each capability area, we provide a brief description of the key shortfalls Europe must address, together with a list of digital technologies that are particularly relevant to closing the identified gaps. This technology lists are intended as guidance only and are not exhaustive. If your solution relies on additional or alternative digital technologies, we strongly encourage you to include them.

Scope of the Survey

The purpose of this exercise is to highlight the digital components that enable defence capabilities. It does not focus on traditional defence platforms such as tanks, artillery systems, or missiles. Instead, it targets the digital layers that make these systems effective and offer operational dominance, for example: AI-enabled command and control, secure 5G/6G tactical communications, cyber protection and threat detection, cloud and edge computing, smart logistics and predictive maintenance, digital twins and simulation environments, or electronic warfare and spectrum tools.

Instructions for Submission

For each of the nine capability gaps, we invite you to: 1. Review the associated key digital technologies. While we have provided a guiding list, you are encouraged to include any additional digital technologies that you believe could help address these capability gaps, particularly if your entity offers relevant products or solutions. The You can find a guiding document describing the 9 capability gaps and key technologies in the document available in the extranet HERE (add link).

2. Identify any relevant product or solution your organisation currently offers (or expects to have ready within the next 1–2 years).

3. For each product, please provide:

- Product name

- A brief description of how it helps address the specific capability gap.

- A link to the product (where available) If the product is not publicly disclosed due to security or confidentiality considerations, please indicate that the information is restricted.

Your contributions are essential to ensuring a comprehensive and accurate representation of the digital capabilities that European industry can strengthen defence readiness.

Deadline: 15 July 2026
