EDA focus: capability development
Improve European defence defence
capabilitiescapabilities in the field of
crisis management and sustain the CSDP as
it stands now and
develops in the future
Developing defence capabilities Defining and meeting the capability needs of the CSDP
Promoting Defence R&T
Promoting armaments co-operationto meet capability needs better, faster and cheaper

EDA’s view on Space
EDA is a Capability-driven organisation• Holistic approach going beyond asset/system views, Business Case mind set• Space in : listed as a ‘core driver’ in EDA’s capability development plan (CDP)
ISR, Intelligence, SSA now listed as ‘fielded’ capabilities in the CDP
Blurring boundaries between Civil and Military Space• Criteria to consider as key differentiators: Flexibility, Resilience
Space is dual, by nature… in times of unaffordability• Financial constraints to foster convergence of the civil and military requirements• Three axis to put effort on:
Coordination of investments in Space-relevant R&T,
Harmonisation to define Requirements (Sovereignty issues not to be minimized)
Pooling and Sharing of Capabilities, Civil-Military Synergies
EDA as a facilitator, catalyst to lay out military/dual space programmes

EDA space-related activities
SATELLITE COMMUNICATION- Short term: EU SatCom Procurement Cell “ESCPC”, ESA/EDA Joint Demonstration Mission for UAS C&C links (2011)- Medium term: Tactical/Mobile SATCOM Capability Gap: “ETISC” work strand (2015+)- Long term: Next Generation of MilSatCom: “SECTELSAT” work strand (2020+)
SPACE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS- ESA SSA Programme: Defence-related high level requirements, civil-military synergies
RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY-Joint Initiative (EDA, CION, ESA) “European Framework Co-operation” for synergies across civil security, space and defence-related research”-Joint Task Force (EDA, CION, ESA) on critical technologies for European non-dependence
EARTH OBSERVATION-MUSIS (Next Generation of European Military Observation Satellites)
-Task Force on Civil-Military synergies in Earth Observation (MUSIS / GMES)

MUSIS (MUltinational Space-based Imaging System)for surveillance, reconnaissance, and observation
MUSIS as an EDA Ad Hoc Programme launched 3-Mar-09• To ensure continuity of service from the current HELIOS II, SAR-
Lupe, COSMO-SkyMed and Pleiades systems
EDA Contributes to the MUSIS programme activities• Linking to EDA work strands (ISR, etc.)• Promoting standards coming from the MUSIS Programme• Identifying other Member States’ interests: PL, SE?• Informing the 6+1 MUSIS nations (FR+IT+DE+EL+BE+ES) of the
EU needs for space-based images
Ensures liaison with the European Commission, ESA• Framework Programme RTD – GMES – EDRS

European SATCOM Procurement Cell - ESCPC
Aim & Concept: centralise commercial SATCOM procurement, pooling national requirements
• Broadband connectivity of forces ( NEC)• UK, FR, IT, PL, NL, RO = 6 Contributing Members
(CM)• “Pay-per-Use”, “One-Stop-Shop” Concepts• Tool: Promote, Make Use of a Service Catalogue
2008/09: Steering Boards (SB) on ESCPC “Go”• Project Launch by SB Decision 15 Oct 2009• CM Commitments: budget forecast• Arrangement and Contract drafted, being
reviewed, to be signed in 2011. • Recruiting more Member States: easy joining
2011 onwards: Initial Operations (IOC)• Major Benefit: Cost effectiveness

Medium Term (2015+): ETISC
Background of UHF SATCOM in Europe• Capability gap. Bilateral deals. EDA can help define common requirements.• Existing hosted / piggyback payload various experiences (Australia, USA).
Current ETISC status : feasibility phase• In function of Member States’ support and commitment for a €10-100mio project over 10y.• Scope: beyond classic Mil-UHF payloads, check alternatives in Mobile Comms.
National/bilateral deals still an option but EDA can add unique value• EDA best placed with instrument (ad hoc programme) and share various requirements and
experiences.• Coalition of the goodwill. Starts at 2.• Towards an EDA Ad Hoc (Cat. B) Project (phase 0-A) or Programme (phase 0-E)?• Bridging to ESA work strands and long term SATCOM plan (EDRS, GIANUS, etc.)• Feasibility / Design / Development phases: costs can be shared with civil actors (EU, ESA).

MILSATCOM / SECTELSAT – Background
Background of MILSATCOM in Europe and lessons identified• MILSATCOM: expensive asset, affordability? But strategic asset for space-faring nations.• Within EU: 5 systems of 2 or 3 or 4 satellites each, little synergies, low degree of pooling and sharing
MILSATCOM asset lifetime in Europe: follow-on already in 2015/20.• Activities already launched: initial joint concept studies (FR-UK “Future SATCOM” initiative)
Relevance of SECTELSAT by EDA: complement to bilateral approach(es)• EDA as a catalyst (pooling and sharing, civ-mil synergies), ready to initiate work
EDA proposal can also support a few Member States launch the coalition of the goodwill

Sovereignty vs. Pooling & Sharing
MILSATCOM cannot be fully shared, run by the EU• Balance to find between Sovereignty and Pooling & Sharing
• 4 Service Tiers: Sovereign // Mil-Grade // Pooling // Sharing
1. Sovereignty Assured: full control of assets, network (‘No Pooling’)• Satellite Control from national premise(s ) (platform, payload)
• Protected waveform Control from national premises
2. Military Assured: hardened strategic Comms (‘Pooling’)• Protected links with anti-jamming waveforms
3. Guaranteed Access: long term lease of spectrum (‘Pooling’)• Life-time or multi-year lease of transponders/channels
• Dual use asset to complement?
4. General Access (‘Sharing’) “ESCPC”• On-the-spot (short term) Market Approach (‘Sharing’)

SSA: Major Military Requirements
Quantified target: lower probability of collision• Minus 90% for low-earth orbit satellites
Key Military Requirements• Establish Recognised Space Picture (RSP) (Military-specific)
• Apply appropriate Data Security at EU Confidential level
• Imaging is 100% Military mission
• EU Military representation: positions at all levels of the European SSA
Governance, Management, Operations
Way-Ahead for EDA• Integration of Military Requirements in a dual programme
• Military expertise wherever appropriate (civil-military synergies, governance, etc.)
