• 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
