ECOBALLIFE: Progressing Towards Enhanced Protection with Expert Guidance

January 14, 2025

With 16 months of progress, our project is revolutionizing European defense capabilities by developing cutting-edge materials and technologies for enhanced protection against diverse threats. We focus on creating innovative personal and military platform protection solutions, optimizing existing ones, and ensuring their reliability.

Goals:

  • Decrease weight and cost while maintaining protection levels.
  • Incorporate sustainability aspects into protection systems.
  • Ensure Europe’s independence in material procurement.
  • Validate and test the characteristics of the defined solutions.
