AIDRA is designed as a proof-of-concept to assess the feasibility, traceability, operational implications and governance conditions of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled On-Board Data Processing (OBDP) in support of Earth Observation (EO) and Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) workflows. The purpose of AIDRA is to generate independent, evidence-based insights into the maturity, risks and potential benefits of AI-OBDP for GEOINT, in support of EU objectives on technological readiness, operational effectiveness and secure information governance. The objective of the demonstration is to evaluate, under space-representative conditions, how AI-enabled on-board processing and tasking functions perform within an end-to-end EO data chain. The assessment focuses on technical behaviour, system performance and interaction with existing GEOINT workflow requirements. The initiative does not aim to deploy an operational capability, but to generate structured evidence to support institutional evaluation. ## CPV classification Research and development consultancy services Research consultancy services Research and experimental development services Source Tenders Electronic Daily (EU) · Notice 246340-2026 [View official notice](https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/246340-2026) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
