Defence research projects

University of Defence is involved in defence research projects under the umbrella of “Development of Operational Capabilities Achieved by the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic” programme declared by the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic. The Programme’s mission is to support Czech Armed Forces training process through research and development so that the forces be able to accomplish their tasks under the conditions of expectedly developing security and operation environment considering the nature of future military operations, technological, demographic, economic and resource conditions and expected development of Czech Armed Forces’ capabilities.

University of Defence is currently contributing to meeting the programme goals by involvement in 32 projects.
