From 18 to 19 November 2025, the EDF project RAPTOR (Remote weAPon condition-based moniTORing System), held its 1st Plenary Meeting in Valencia, Spain, hosted by the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). The two-day hybrid meeting brought together all consortium partners to review progress, align on technical developments, and plan the next steps towards the project’s upcoming milestones.
The agenda featured a series of work package updates and technical presentations focusing on project coordination, risk management, data ethics and security, and early design definitions. Highlights included detailed sessions on technical alignment and dissemination & communication activities, which are crucial to the project’s impact strategy.
On the second day, participants explored the project’s main innovation areas, including AI-driven weapon condition monitoring, secure-by-design Internet of Military Things (IoMT), and printed sensors. They also discussed data collection campaigns and upcoming deliverables. As part of the meeting, participants also had the opportunity to visit the Antennas and Propagation Laboratory of the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM) and the Electronic Development and Printed Sensors Group at UPV, where cutting-edge research supporting RAPTOR’s technical development was showcased.
This plenary marks an important milestone for RAPTOR as the project transitions from initial planning into deeper technical development. The meeting strengthened collaboration across the consortium and set the direction for the next phase of implementation.
