A catalyst: from Member States to Member States
• Improving Europe‟s defence performance
• The only one whose Steering Board meets at the
level of Defence Ministers
• Structure totally unique
• Flexibility = tool at service of Member States
• Head of the Agency = Catherine Ashton
• Chief Executive = Claude-France Arnould
• 26 Member States (all EU except Denmark)
+ Norway & Switzerland
• ~120 staff members

Space and Security (CSDP) – EU Space Policy
• Council Conclusions, 1-Jun-2011, art. 17
- “INVITES the Commission, in close collaboration with Member States
and after consultation with ESA and EDA to evaluate the need for
improvements of the available space infrastructure to develop
secure services based on the integration of global satellite
communications, earth observation and positioning”…
• Space Council Orientations, 6-Dec-2011, art. 22
- RECOGNIZES that SATCOM represent a key capability in any crisis
response and crisis management operation, and a highly crucial and
scarce resource, especially when ground infrastructures are
damaged or destroyed, and RECOMMENDS the European
Commission, EEAS and Member States, with the support of EDA, to
work towards a secure and guaranteed access to commercial and
governmental satellite communications for crisis response and crisis
management actors;
www.eda.europa.eu 9
Space Policy – EDA Role
• Space is a shared competence (EU/MS)
• EDA as a „SPACE hub‟ (forum) for SATCOM, SSA, ISR
- Requirements collection, cooperative projects and programmes
- Research activities, technological demonstrators
• EDA support on GNSS, EO, Space R&T - Galileo PRS, EO calibration, critical space technologies for European non-dependence
• Task Force on Civil-Military Synergies
• EDA-ESA Cooperation (Administrative Arrangement)
- Case#1: SATCOM for UAS Command & Control Demonstration
- Case#2: ISR (Capability Package Assessment)
- Case#3: SATCOM infrastructure (ETISC, SECTELSAT work strands)
(Developed in next slides)

SATCOM Pooling & Sharing (P&S) EU MoDs‟ initiative
• EU Member States are putting
pressure to P&S Defence assets
- Lower budgets… how to mitigate?
• EDA Steering Board, 30 Nov
2011 identified SATCOM to P&S
- Ministers have endorsed a list, incl.
ESCPC and Future MILSATCOM
• SATCOM
- EDA is setting up projects in line with
political guidance
• ESCPC
• SECTELSAT (Future MILSATCOM)

European SatCom Procurement Cell (ESCPC)
• ESCPC overcomes fragmented procurement
of commercial SATCOM within European
Defence
- Establish a “Pilot” Cell within EDA (2012 -2014)
• Milestones:
- 2009 project launch approval by EU MoDs
- Q3 2012: operations
• Instrument (legal basis):
- “Ad Hoc” Project (FR, IT, PL, RO, UK)
- More Member States, EU, 3rd party
• ESCPC major benefits:
- Flexible: „‟Pay-Per-Use”, non-exclusive sourcing
- Economical: No membership fees, VAT-free

European Tactical Interim SATCOM (ETISC) Trying a kind of European hosted payload story?
• 2013-2014: Complementary study, if needed
• 2013-2014: Ad Hoc Programme Preparation (Business Case…)

• FR+IT bilateral cooperation SICRAL-2 + Athena-Fidus. Next one: FR+UK?
• EDA structured approach to promote future cooperation with ad hoc instruments

MILSATCOM in 2012: segregated assets
NSP2K Capability
Package (2003-2017)
• 10+ different satellites for 5 separate, almost dedicated systems
• So far very little Pooling & Sharing achieved, made by NATO.
• Risk for the next generation: big investments, less money

Future MILSATCOM / SECTELSAT key points
• Synergy on space segment (economies of scale with recurrent models)
• Synergy on ground segment (anchor stations for C2 (TT&C))
• Synergy avoiding duplication of R&T investments (ESA, EU budgets)
• Synergy on operations
• Contribution of the EU Budget ? For a future EU Capability Package?
(2020+) for Common Security and Defence Policy
- To be investigated
• “European” MoU (FR+IT+UK…) for the NATO SATCOM 2020 Capability
Package (CP) addressing the right subset of the CP?

EDA & European Space – The Take-Away
• EDA as the Hub for Defence… and Space
- Duality (for/by defence and security)
• EDA-ESA Cooperation (Administrative Arrangement)
- ETISC studies in close partnership
• Space in the EDA Capability Development Plan (CDP)
• SATCOM twice in the EU Defence Pooling & Sharing
- ESCPC as a „Quick-Win‟ (commercial SATCOM)
- Governmental SATCOM: EDA concept „Secure Telecom by Satellite‟
(SECTELSAT)
• EDA Member States: it‟s all about political BUY-IN.
