Objective: This topic aims at actions supporting the common procurement of ammunition (including small arms ammunition, tank and anti-tank ammunitions, artillery ammunition, guided ammunitions), missiles (all types of missiles) and other explosive weapons (including hand grenade, land and naval mines, mortar, rockets, unmanned systems (aerial, ground, surface and underwater vehicles controlled remotely or operating autonomously using advanced software and sensors) able to perform guided strikes (including attack or kamikaze drones, FPV loitering munitions), torpedoes), or parts thereof, contributing to replenishment of stocks. Scope: Common procurement actions under this topic shall consist of activities related to the cooperation of legal entities in the procurement of ammunition, missiles, and other explosive weapons, at any point in the life cycle of such defence products, including for the purpose of establishing, managing and maintaining defence industrial readiness pools.…
