Description
Any eligible action as defined in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1525, that addresses the increase of production capacities in the area of explosives, and that aims at supporting the ramp-up of the production capacity and timely delivery of artillery ammunition, as well as mortars and rockets, with potential positive spill over effects on other ground-to-ground ammunition as well as missiles. Proposed actions should specifically focus on the elimination of sourcing and production bottlenecks as well as on achieving resilience through cross-border cooperation by triggering a step change in the capacity, hence the robustness of the supply chains.
