The European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP) is a EUR 1. 5 billion two-year initiative adopted by the European Commission on 30 March 2026 to strengthen the European Union and Ukrainian defence industrial base.
The programme allocates funding across six major pillars: production capacity (EUR 700M+ for counter-drones, missiles, ammunition); joint procurement (EUR 240M for counter-drone, air/missile defence, combat systems); European Defence Projects of Common Interest (EUR 325M); Ukraine Support Instrument (EUR 260M); Start-up/SME equity support via FAST (EUR 100M for defence supply chain transformation); and BraveTech EU Innovation (EUR 35.
3M). Unmanned systems (UxS), counter-drone technology, and AI-enabled autonomy emerge as the most cross-cutting priorities, appearing across every major funding pillar. The Industrial Reinforcement Act call explicitly names FPV drones, interceptor drones, AI/autonomy-enabled UxS integration lines, missile seekers, and EW-resilient C4ISR as primary end-use products.
First round of EDIP calls published on the EU Funding and Tenders Portal on 31 March 2026, with additional calls under the Ukraine Support Instrument opening in June 2026.
