  • LET Us MAKE More Space for Our Defence
    LET US MAKE MORE SPACE FOR OUR DEFENCE STRATEGIC GUIDELINES FOR A SPACE DEFENCE POLICY IN FRANCE AND EUROPE STRATEGIC GUIDELINES FOR A SPACE DEFENCE POLICY IN FRANCE AND EUROPE Foreword ECPAD Let us make more Space for our Defence To ensure its security as well as its autonomy in decision-making and assessment, France needs to have crisis awareness and analysis capabilities together with the means required to carry out coalition operations. In this respect, space assets play a critical role, as demonstrated during recent conflicts. Such assets enable the countries that possess them to assert their strategic influence on the international scene and to significantly enhance their efficiency during military operations. Space control has thus become pivotal to power and sovereignty, and now involves stakes comparable in nature to those of deterrence during the 1960’s. Today, France possesses real and significant space assets. The 2003-2008 Military Programme Law provides for ambitious programmes and through the development of demonstrators, contributes to preparing our future capabilities and developing our technological and industrial base. Yet, we now need to go further down this road and prepare the guidelines for our Defence Space policy during the next decade. Therefore, I entrusted French Ambassador Bujon de l’Estang with the chairmanship of a wor- king group on the strategic directions of Defence Space Policy (GOSPS). The aim was to draw from the analysis of the developments in the strategic context, to anticipate which security and defence space capabilities will enable our country to guarantee its strategic autonomy and meet its key requirements.

  • Press Release Musis Rg
    EUROPEAN DEFENCE AGENCY PRESS RELEASE POLAND AND SWEDEN EXPRESS THE INTENTION TO JOIN THE MULTINATIONAL SPACE-BASED IMAGING SYSTEM PROGRAMME Brussels, 25 June 2010 Poland and Sweden announced their intention to join MUSIS, the MUltinational Space-based Imaging System, a collaborative EDA programme of six European Countries (Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France and Italy) to enhance their future Earth Observation (EO) capabilities. “This is most welcome”, said Alexander Weis, EDA’s Chief Executive. “The MUSIS project was brought to EDA to open up the participation to other Member States. The Polish and Swedish decisions show the added value of bringing such projects to the Agency.” MUSIS aims to federate some of the next generation European military or dual use satellites for Earth Observation, such as the replacements for the French Helios II, the Italian CosmoSkyMed and the German SAR Lupe, and assure “access to space” for each of the contributing Member States (cMS) by common User Ground Stations. Approved as a Category B project in March 2009 by the EDA Steering Board, MUSIS is open to participation of other EDA participating Member States, if their proposed contribution is acceptable to the existing contributing Members. Marcin Idzik, Undersecretary of State for Armaments and Modernisation, and National Armaments Director of Poland said “Military space-based observation has been providing a cooperative venture for the past 20 years. The latest stage of cooperation, MUSIS, represents what could be referred to as the third generation of the cooperative model.” He added “From our perspective, the MUSIS programme is one of the most important EDA programmes.” Gunnar Hult, Chief Scientist of the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) and Deputy National Armaments Director of Sweden, said “FMV will initiate negotiations regarding this innovative step in Space-based Imaging System for surveillance, reconnaissance and observation.
