EUROPEAN DEFENCE MATTERS
Issue 132017Off to new
horizons
Europe’s space policy is gaining prominence in the context
of the EU’s CSDP
Eric Platteau Head of Media and Communication Helmut Brüls Editor-in-Chief
S
So far away and yet so close. Space-
based civilian services have become
indispensable in everyone’s daily lives.
Think of satellite TV, mobile phones,
navigation systems in cars or taking the
plane.The European Union owns world-class space
systems with Copernicus for Earth observation as
well as EGNOS and Galileo for satellite navigation and
geo-positioning. With 18 satellites currently in orbit
and over 30 planned in the next 10-15 years, the EU is
the largest institutional customer for launch services
in Europe.
But Europe’s space policy is also gaining
prominence in the context of the Common
Security and Defence Policy (CSDP): space-based
communication, situational awareness, and
navigation and earth-observation capabilities play
an increasingly critical role in security and defence.
Satellite reconnaissance is one of the key functions
allowing states to gather information about
military build-up or movement of troops worldwide.
Precision-guided munitions, missile warning and
launch detection systems, and space-based missile
defence systems are other examples of space-
enabled defence capabilities.
Against this backdrop, the recently adopted
European Commission’s ‘Space Strategy for Europe’
takes on a wider, much more significant meaning.
For the first time ever, the EU identifies space as a
‘strategic asset’ for strengthening European security
& defence and even a core element in achieving
Europe’s objective of ‘strategic autonomy’.
Reason enough for
European Defence Matters
to analyse the Space Strategy’s defence-related
aspects and repercussions, especially in connection
with the Commission’s European Defence Action Plan
(EDAP), and to give the floor to the main actors in this
field: European Commissioner Elbieta Bieńkowska,
European External Action Service’s (EEAS) special
envoy for space Franois Rivasseau, EU Satellite
Centre (SatCen) director Pascal Legai, European
Space Agency (ESA) Director General Jan Woerner
as well as the European Defence Agency (EDA)
Chief Executive Jorge Domecq. To hear the European
space industry’s views, we spoke to Jean-Loc Galle
who is not only CEO of Thales Alenia Space but also
President of ASD-Eurospace.
Frank Haun, the President & CEO of Krauss-
Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Co-CEO of KMW+Nexter
Defense Systems (KNDS), is our guest for this
edition’s ‘Industry Talk’ in which he makes a plea
for consolidation and streamlining to strengthen
Europe’s defence industry.
In the same vein, the head of McKinsey &
Company’s activities in the defence sector in EMEA,
Wolff van Sintern, tells us in a very interesting
interview how important it is for Europe to overcome
the current fragmentation of its defence market, to
boost cooperation and to achieve greater integration
based on standardized requirements and equipment.
The analysis by Daniel Fiott (Security & Defence
editor at the EU Institute for Security Studies) of the
EU’s defence policy 60 years after the Treaty of Rome
is another highlight of this 13th edition of
European
Defence Matters
which we hope you will enjoy!
