Defense and Space Manufacturing
The European Defence Agency (EDA) is the hub for #EUdefence cooperation | An Agency of the #EuropeanUnion.
About us
Created in 2004 to support and facilitate cross-border defence cooperation, EDA has become the place in Europe where countries willing to develop their defence capabilities collaboratively can do so. EDA’s expertise and activities cover the whole spectrum of cooperation: from harmonising requirements to delivering operational capabilities; from research & technology (R&T) and innovation to developing technology demonstrators; from training and exercises to support to CSDP operations. EDA also closely engages with the European defence industry to enhance Europe’s defence technological and industrial base and help make the industry stronger and more competitive. The Agency’s role and impact have constantly grown, especially with the implementation of the EU’s Global Strategy (2016) which also led Member States to reinforce the Agency’s mission in 2017. Managed by Chief Executive Jiří Šedivý under the authority of Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

#EUdefence Declassified Season Two | EP5 | Women in EU Armed Forces Women have served in diverse and impactful roles throughout European military history - yet they remain a minority within the armed forces. Today, as the EU prioritises the UN Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, and NATO adapts its 2018 WPS policy to address current security challenges, a significant transformation is underway. In this episode, we try to identify the main barriers and see why it’s taking so long to achieve equality in the defence forces with speakers Terhi Lehtinen (EU Military Staff, European External Action Service) and Carolin Hendrys (EDA). We also discuss the strategies by the EU, and its Member States, to enhance women’s participation in the EU Armed Forces – and we hear how things are going so far. 🎧 Listen now - https://lnkd.in/eafny3TY 🎧 #Spotify - https://lnkd.in/ePSaRze2 #EU #defence #womenindefence #womeninmilitary #EEAS #StrongerTogether

#EUdefence Declassified Season Two | EP3 | Military Mobility Military mobility is crucial for the rapid and efficient movement of military assets across Europe. Join EDA's Major General André Denk and General Ben Hodges (former Commanding General U.S. Army Europe) for an in-depth discussion on why enhancing military mobility is essential for a strong European defence against today's geopolitical backdrop. We also discuss the concept of a "military Schengen," the challenges of transporting military resources, funding issues, balancing security with transparency, and the initiatives by the EU, EDA, and NATO to improve mobility. 🎧 Listen now - https://lnkd.in/eafny3TY 🎧 #Spotify - https://lnkd.in/eQqJQes9 #EU #podcast #defence #defense #militarymobility #StrongEurope #StrongerTogether

Call to #industry and economic operators: procurement cluster on enablers for safe integration of military #air capabilities in the #EuropeanSky Military operations rely heavily on secure and unhindered access to airspace. This access is crucial for all aircraft types, from traditional manned aircraft to the newest unmanned aircraft systems (#UAS). 🛩 However, the growing complexity of #airspace usage, with the introduction of novel technologies and evolving military tactics, presents a significant challenge. Recognizing this complexity, the European Defence Agency has taken a leading role in promoting safe airspace integration. The "Enablers for safe airspace integration of military air capabilities in the European sky" represents a significant initiative aimed at equipping European militaries for efficient and secure airspace access. This cluster initiative encompasses four distinct projects, each tackling specific aspects of safe airspace integration: Lot 1️⃣ - UAS Experimental Integration: focuses on developing and testing new technologies that facilitate seamless and safe integration of UAS into shared airspace, in all spectrum environments – high TRL. Lot 2️⃣ - UAS Risk Assessment: tackles the crucial task of assessing the risks posed by, and to, UAS operating within shared airspace. Lot 3️⃣ - High-Altitude Operations addresses security and defence challenges and opportunities associated with operations conducted at high altitudes. Lot 4️⃣ - Needs-assessment, Market research and Consultation: aims at collecting the requirements of UAS end-users, conducting state of the art review and execution of a market research and consultations on airspace integration of military air capabilities.
