About us
ACROSS project (“Adaptive Camouflage foR sOldierS and vehicleS”) for developing disruptive technologies and solutions for adaptive camouflage. Financed under the European Defence Fund (EDF) and with an overall budget of about € 14.5 million, ACROSS brings together 19 partners from 9 EU countries with the main goal of developing disruptive technologies and solutions for adaptive camouflage. The project will foster a critical mass of cross-border collaborations by joining different key actors strengthening and improving the agility of both defence supply and value chains, widening cross-border cooperation between legal entities, and fostering the better exploitation of the industrial potential of innovation, research and technological development, at each stage of the industrial lifecycle of defence products and technologies. #acrossprojectedf
