• Symmetric & Asymmetric threats coexistence:

o intelligence, interoperability, integration to better plan the future

• Budgeting constraints emphasize need of a growing UE rationalization

• UE Operational Requirements should be commonly and progressively defined

• Air Power system capability should be segmented accordingly, within ISTAR principles

• European Defence Policies have to be linked with industrial long term plans

• Centre of excellence, Key enabling technologies, Security of Supply policies have to be

consequently implemented

• Common export rules, in terms of ToT and related controls, are part of this process
