The successor project to the Integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System (iMUGS) programme, the European Defence Fund's (EDF) project for a common unmanned ground vehicle, has been pushed back by one year, Janes can confirm.

“It's [going to be] in EDF [Work Programme] 2024,” Martin Jõesaar, chief of project office – iMUGS with the Estonian Centre for Defence Investment, told Janes. “The call text for the projects will be announced in [20]24, and the consortium will be put together, and whoever wins will start in [20]25. It's a little bit later than we hoped, but it's still ok,” he added. The project is expected to conclude between 2028 and 2029.
