The push toward a <\/span>circular economy<\/span><\/b> in Europe is reaching new frontiers\u2014including the defence sector. In early 2024, the <\/span>European Defence Agency (EDA)<\/span><\/b>, through its <\/span>Incubation Forum for Circular Economy in European Defence (IF CEED)<\/span><\/b>, launched a groundbreaking project: <\/span>IOTA 2<\/span><\/b>. This initiative marks the first full-scale implementation under IF CEED and focuses on enhancing the <\/span>circular lifecycle of military body armour using a Digital Product Passport (DPP)<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n From Vision to Implementation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While the initial study IOTA explored the feasibility of <\/span>data sharing tools in defence, IOTA 2 brings the concept to life by targeting a specific piece of equipment: body armour vests.<\/p>\n The project is led by <\/span>+ImpaKT, <\/span><\/b>in collaboration with a cross-border industrial team from Germany, Spain, and France. Partners include companies such as <\/span>FECSA, Rheinmetall, ELMICRON, and Sopra Steria<\/span><\/b>, and the project is scheduled to run for 12 months.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The core objective of IOTA2 was to specify the key building blocks required to implement a Digital Product Passport, starting with a first practical application to <\/span>body armour inserts. Beyond the immediate scope, the intent is to prepare the defence sector for wider DPP integration across various categories of military equipment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Specifying the DPP for Body Armour<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The IOTA2 project delivers a <\/span>solid foundation for advancing DPP adoption in the European defence sector. Among the major outcomes:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Importantly, the study confirms that the defence sector is well-positioned to implement DPPs, thanks to:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Looking Forward<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Based on the promising results, the project recommends launching a <\/span>pilot project on body armour inserts. This would provide valuable hands-on experience with DPP implementation and pave the way for broader application to other categories of defence products.<\/p>\n IOTA2 marks a significant step forward in aligning European defence practices with the EU\u2019s digital and green transition.<\/span><\/b> It shows that through collaboration and standardisation, DPPs can deliver real benefits for both sustainability and operational efficiency in the defence sector.<\/span><\/p>\n To know more on the Digital Product Passport in Defence, watch the video:\u202f<\/span>https:\/\/youtu.be\/FSX6N5lSETo<\/span><\/a>\u202f\u202f<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00a0\u00bb1″ theme_builder_area=\u00a0\u00bbpost_content\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.4″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.4″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00a0\u00bbpost_content\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.4″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ theme_builder_area=\u00a0\u00bbpost_content\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The push toward a circular economy in Europe is reaching new frontiers\u2014including the defence sector.
