CITADEL Range seeks to upgrade European defence technology in the field of cyber ranges. The vision is built on the EU’s strategic shift from cyber responsive operations to full spectrum cyber defence operations. The next-generation modular products and concepts aim to provide tailored solutions for the entire value chain of cyber forces, focusing on EU/Member State needs and holistic cyber defence (as opposed to civilian cyber security). The project delivers advanced capabilities for training, exercising, and mission rehearsal in realistic, cost-efficient environments — covering cross-border classified exercises, realistic cyber operations toolkits, and integration of cyber within MDO exercises, leveraging digital twins and AI. Solutions are modular and complement existing national cyber ranges rather than delivering a standalone one.
