EDITORIAL

The new Europe of Defence is beginning to take its first steps. As from right now, the industry that supplies it can already access the first real initiatives of an unprecedented stage getting

started in 2019. The projects that the latest editions of IDS’s flagship publication, “Spain Defence & Security Industry”, had included before as commitments acqui-red by Member States, such as Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) and the European Defence Fund (EDF), plus their prior initiatives PADR and EDIDP, once again appear in the annual publication that you have in your hands. However, what had previously been peeking out as opportunities are now here as effective examples. There are already companies participating in the first programmes of PESCO and of the Preparatory Action for Defence Research (PADR), as it is reflected in the following pages, where various Spanish firms are cited, including their names and the allocated amounts.

There’s no better way to prove that something is possible than showing that it’s already being done. And in the future it will be possible to do much more, considering the quantity of programmes and, above all, the hard cash committed by the European Union to get those programmes up and running. This spring, work will begin under PESCO to launch a new batch of projects. They’ll be added to the 34 that were already begun in 2018, in which 18 include the participation of Spanish companies. Also the PADR, the first initiative linked to the EDF that has been implemented, includes projects on which half a dozen Spanish entities are participating. The 90 million euros committed by the EU for the EDAP will be followed by another 4.1 billion between 2021 and 2027 to finance more research projects that Spanish industry can apply for. But first, as of the close of this publication, the initiatives of the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) are being specified, for which another 500 million euros will be allocated, distributed over its two-year duration (2019

and 2020). Once the EDIDP concludes, the EDF and its joint development programme of defence capabilities will come into full swing, forecast to have an allocation of 8.9 billion euros between 2021 and 2027.

In addition to these billion-euro investments for improving research and the joint capabilities of Member States –unprecedented in the history of the EU– there are, among other possibilities for the old continent, the contracts that NATO signs every year. Spanish companies also benefit from those contracts, as it is shown in this annual publication, which lists the 19 firms of our country that, during the first nine months of 2018, were awarded 36 contracts totalling 75 million euros by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), the entity in charge of distributing the majority of the organisation’s acquisitions.

Leaving aside orders placed by the Atlantic Alliance, 2019 represents the first consolidated step (in the form of contracts with companies) in Europe’s firm commitment to securing its own resources in coordination since the Treaty of Rome, which gave rise to the EU in 1957. The clause that creates PESCO was already present in the Treaty of Lisbon, 12 years ago, as we are told in an interview for this publication by Jorge Domecq, the Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency (EDA). But the strategic context hadn’t occurred until now, when there is also a sufficient boost from new technologies to finally undertake PESCO. In this new edition of “Spain Defence & Security Industry”, which is eloquently entitled “The European opportunity”, many of the protagonists talk about this fascinating time for the national defence industry in Europe, not only regarding Spain but also the continent as a whole. Moreover, this volume, which reaches the agents with decision-making capacity in the sector every year (in Spanish and English), once again serves as a great reference tool on Spanish industrial capabilities.

THE EUROPEAN OPPORTUNITY

I am very pleased to welcome the seventh edition of Spain Defence and Security Industry 2019. Through the commitments that our country has acquired with our partners in the European Union and our allies in NATO,

our Armed Forces are contributing, by completing their missions, to maintaining international peace, liberty and security. This commitment boosted in the EU after the launch of Permanent Structured Cooperation at the end of 2017.

The defence industry is an essential engine for driving productivity and innovation. We must maintain and strengthen the industrial leadership of Europe in this era of globalisation, which is marked by the challenges posed by sustainability and the ability to quickly adapt to technological change.

The new industrial era will be marked by great acceleration in economic, social and environmental transformations, as well as by technological advances in areas such as robotics, the Internet, artificial intelligence, energy systems, the fight against climate change and a major opening-up of traditional production processes towards internalisation, in which increasingly more companies from different countries are becoming integrated in value chains and multinational programmes.

Strengthening industry means directly contributing to having qualified and stable employment. But the importance of the defence industry goes beyond turnover or employment quality.

The defence industry is considered to be a strategic capability for operations of the Armed Forces, thereby providing freedom of action and ensuring sovereignty. Spain cannot and must not be content to acquire what it needs for defence from abroad. In Europe, we have understood this, which is why the European Commission’s commitment has become embodied in an investment plan with specific measures for reaching a dual objective: being more efficient with expenses oriented at obtaining joint military capabilities and, at the same time, promoting and strengthening a more cooperative, competitive and innovative European industrial base.

Research, development and innovation (R&D&i) must be boosted domestically, not only to help achieve specialised areas of knowledge and priority military capabilities, but also to develop the technological leadership of Spanish industry. Autonomy must be assured when achieving the necessary strategic capabilities, and risks must be reduced with respect to the manufacturing phase of complex weapons systems.

In this regard, it is essential to have an innovative industrial and technology base that is in line with the interests of defence and that is capable of forecasting future needs, accepting the risks and challenges this represents and proposing the most appropriate solutions.

This defence industry must respond to the real needs of the Armed Forces for meeting security and national defence objectives. At the same time, it must effectively contribute

PRESENTATION

Ángel Olivares Ramírez, Secretary of State for Defence

to developing the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy and Trans-Atlantic cooperation in this area.

The Spanish defence industry is facing the challenge of actively participating in consolidating the European defence market, in which more internationalization opportunities will arise. The pace at which measures are implemented for creating an internal defence market must be modified to allow the adaptation of companies that are currently less accustomed to working in this environment.

Cooperation with our allies in the international scene allows us to have reliable industrial partners with whom we can assure the prosperity, peace and well-being of our society.

It is essential to maintain a strategy of international cooperation with companies and organisation from other countries by actively participating in initiatives of the European Commission

that are related to the European Defence Plan, where proposals designed to complement the efforts developed by Member States have already arisen: Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) on Defence and the European Defence Action Plan (EDAP) for promoting the cooperative development of technology and military capabilities, and the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP).

Only through cooperation will our companies be able to gain greater access to the high technology of defence programmes, which is within the reach of very few countries when acting alone, in addition to greater access to the European financing that is being implemented according to the new European strategy. And we must join this process because of the highly valuable opportunity it represents for our industry.

In conclusion, I would invite readers of this prestigious publication to visit and participate at the first International Defence Exhibition (FEINDEF), which will take place from the 29 to the 31 May in Madrid. It is promoted by the two sector associations in Spain (Tedae and Aesmide) and has the institutional support of the Ministry of Defence.

Our country is a global benchmark in the organisation of international exhibitions. We have the infrastructures, capacity and attraction in our country to make events a success and turn them into a benchmark in Europe, in the Mediterranean Basin and in Latin America, and we expect to receive delegations from all five continents.

THE EUROPEAN CHALLENGE OF COMMON SECURITY

The integration of security and defence policies is a great opportunity for Spanish industry, which, with these initial steps in building the Europe of Defence, will have the opportunity to strengthen its international position in a highly competitive market.

t is an honour for me to participate in this seventh edition of the annual publication Spain Defence and Security Industry. It is a benchmark publication for the sector, and on this occasion it focuses on a subject of special importance for the future of the industry: the implementation of true European cooperation on security and defence.

This year in Spain we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of our Constitution, and thanks to the values and principles it embodies, we have managed to build a modern and democratic society. Freedom, justice, equality and, certainly, security are the foundations that underpin the guarantee and free exercise of fundamental rights and civil liberties.

We find ourselves before the common forum of European security, which, as one, must take on the major challenges and tasks that are resulting from the convergence of transformations in the area of global security. And this has contributed to revolutionizing the strategic framework of security. Increased geopolitical tensions, growing connectivity, constant technological revolution and the dynamics of social polarisation are some of the transformation processes in the global

environment that are also shaping the characterisation of common security policies and strategies.

At the same time, these very trends offer windows of opportunity for greater security and focus the spotlight on the security of people, on human security. This means taking into account the viewpoint of citizens and dealing with the causes of insecurity, not just the effects. And it means strengthening prevention and anticipation, as well as reducing vulnerabilities, through action lines that enhance both individual and collective resilience.

Protecting the interests of Europe is crucial, which is why coordination and cooperation are two of the priority aspects that form the basis of the European Union. It is essential not only to reinforce the EU’s instruments and means for quicker and more effective management of crises, civil missions and single military missions for preventing conflicts but also support an increase in joint and complementary capability so that we can take on threats such as terrorism and organised crime, among others.

Moreover, the security-development binomial has become a key element in the European Union’s strategy, to which Spain is decidedly committed. The Ministry

of Home Affairs, through the Civil Guard, is leading the GAR-SI Sahel project (Rapid-Action Surveillance and Intervention Groups in the Sahel). The objective is to contribute to the security of the population and to stabilisation of both the countries involved and regional territories, including the most isolated and cross-border zones. Spanish experts, together with French, Italian and Portuguese experts, are working with their counterparts in the region to improve the internal security of these countries by reinforcing the capabilities of their security forces and improving cross-border cooperation.

Along this same action line, the Joint Investigation Team in Niger (ECI-Níger) has been created to fight against criminal networks related to irregular immigration. It is an initiative led by the Spanish National Police in cooperation with the French National Police, with funding from the EU. Its main objectives are the training of Nigerien agents, the exchange of information on immigration networks and the reinforcement of capabilities regarding surveillance, patrols and the suppression of networks.

But the integration of security and defence policies must not only be set up around political and operational

priorities, rather they must also be fortified through a firm commitment to R&D&i. A strategy that comprehensively integrates research and development is more necessary than ever, especially if we take into account that, currently, many security threats being faced by developed societies come from globalisation and technological development, meaning from the area of cybersecurity.

The sector is ideal for illustrating the commitment of the State Secretary for Security to public-private cooperation. This philosophy is what governs the actions of the National Centre for Infrastructure Protection and Cybersecurity (CNPIC), a body that reports to the State Secretariat and whose essential objective is to protect

infrastructures that are fundamental in the daily activity of our country and in the well-being of the citizens.

We’re talking about such crucial sectors as electricity, water, transport, food, the healthcare system, the financial system and nuclear power plants. The CNPIC coordinates and protects the operators that manage these services and infrastructures from relevant threats such as cyberterrorism and cybercrime. There are already 170 critical operators encompassed under the protective umbrella of the CNPIC, which constitutes the largest community of public-private cooperation in Spain. It is a system that has more than demonstrated its efficacy at reducing risks and increasing reaction capabilities in the intricate and interconnected game board of current global security.

All these elements represent a great opportunity for the Spanish defence and security industry, which, with these initial steps in building the Europe of Defence, will have

the chance to strengthen its international position in a highly competitive market. The Spanish Government’s priority is to strengthen and promote the development of a highly strategic sector for our economy –that of security– from which society as a whole will benefit.

“Either we act as one to face the huge challenges presented by the changes in global order or we won’t be able to ensure the prosperity and viability of our socio-economic model”. These words, spoken by the ex-Secretary General of NATO and ex-High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, Javier Solana, are a warning that we must not overlook. Either we are capable of ensuring, with a single voice, the security of our citizens against internal and external threats, or the European project runs the risk of stagnation. And in this process, the Spanish security and defence industry is called upon to play an essential role.

THESE TIMES OF COLD POSITIVISM

If we succeed in getting our scientists and entrepreneurs to work on this, the opportunity of the Europe of Defence could, just like previous European programmes, mean a new boost for developing and modernizing our industry and our science.

n 1899, Santiago Ramón y Cajal sent the text of his speech on entry into the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Madrid to the printer Portanet. He’d read the speech two years before. The original title was the “Rational basis and technical conditions for biological research”, but the success of this treatise was such that he successively changed the title in subsequent editions, and today it is more well known by the subtitle “Tonics of the Will”.

This short work is the founding text of Spanish scientific policy, as Cajal himself intuitively stated decades before the term, “science policy”, was subsequently coined by the United States.

However, today I’m not so much interested in recalling this work as I am a brief epilogue that he added to the speech, entitled “Post Scriptum”. In my opinion, it represents the most passionate and radical pro-Spanish patriotic pamphlet that I know of, which is why I strongly recommend that it be read by readers of Spain Defence and Security Industry.

Cajal’s thesis is simple: we were defeated in the Spanish-American war of 1898 “almost without fighting” because “it must be confessed that our ignorance, even more so than our poverty, is what has caused the disaster (...) Science, the creator of wealth and strength,

has taken vengeance on those who refuse to recognize it and who underestimate it”.

After this diagnosis, which the eminent scholar expanded upon, he proposed the right solution: “Spain’s political might will be the fruit of the wealth and an increase of its population; results for which there is no path other than to create, at whatever cost, original science, industry and art (...) Let this objective be ardently desired and clearly felt by our politicians, scientists, farmers, capitalists, industrialists, engineers and even the humblest of workers (...) and the light of glory will still caress our limp flag, not as much scorned by foreigners as it is by us!”

Between these words written by Cajal and modern times, nothing less than the entire twentieth century has passed, and the context in which we live today is very different, although this doesn’t mean that we can’t talk about those times of cold positivism.

And what’s happening today is that Spain, together with nearly thirty other European countries, is a political subject that is developing within a broader habitat than that of a nation state in European Union. The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, endorsed Ramón y Cajal’s words when he stated the

PRESENTATION

OF ANY ADVANCED NATION

following: “To guarantee our collective security, we must invest in the common development of technologies and equipment of strategic importance. A strong, competitive and innovative defence industrial base is what will give us strategic autonomy”.

This awareness and a new political will in Europe have begun to be defined in recent years through various initiatives of the European Commission and the European Council. At the end of 2016, the European Commission implemented the European Defence Action Plan “to give shape to the Global Strategy on the European Union’s Foreign and Security Policy regarding Security and Defence”. The objective of this Plan is to “build a solid technological and industrial base of Defence in Europe”, founded on an ambitious programme of support for research, development and innovation.

Indeed the first pillar of the European Defence Action Plan is the establishment of a financing fund (European Defence Fund), which is oriented at financing for research initiatives, for the development of capabilities and for cooperation on the acquisition of innovations in defence by Member States.

The first steps to setting up this new European Defence Fund have already been taken, and since 2017 the

European Defence Agency, with the Commission’s mandate, is executing a preparatory initiative (PADR) as a pilot test for launching a Defence research plan within the next framework programme (2021-2027), in the image of the framework programmes for civil R&D&i of the Horizon 2020 Programme.

This new scenario of Defence in the European Union is going to mean a fantastic window of opportunity for research and development in technology industries of Europe in general and of our country in particular.

Spain has historically achieved excellent results in European programmes for financing basic research and business R&D&i, as shown by the results of the current framework programme (Horizon 2020 Programme). In it,

PRESENTATION

CIBERSECURITY IS AN INCREASINGLY KEY ELEMENT

Spain is the fourth-leading country to receive the most financing, behind only Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Our country is the leader in highly competitive areas, such as the SME Instrument of European innovation in small and medium enterprises, in which we were the first country with 22.5% of the European aid; the Launchpad programme of Emerging and Future Technologies, dedicated to the most immature states; and in social challenges such as Smart Cities, the Circular Economy and Water Resources Management.

Now that Europe has assumed the need to decidedly support and finance the development of its own defence

capabilities, Spain must build upon its experience in civil R&D&i programmes and aspire to replicate this success in the area of defence.

To achieve this, at the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities we have already taken the first steps, and we are in the process of updating the cooperation agreement between the Directorate-General of Military Equipment and Materials and the State Secretariat for Universities, Research, Development and Innovation, therefore extending the agreement to the CDTI (Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology) and the State Research Agency.

The latest objectives of this collaboration are to improve coordination and to optimise the administration’s resources in order to support R&D&i activities in all matters related to dual-use technologies, with the ultimate aim of getting R&D&i investments to reach the market.

The reality is that, on occasion, scientific collaboration with Defence has been looked at with apprehension. This reductionist viewpoint must be overcome because we cannot hide the reality: we live in turbulent times, and Defence is one of the fundamental and strategic capabilities of any advanced nation. Moreover, we must remember that, currently, challenges and needs regarding subjects such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, new materials, microelectronics and advanced communications are common to the defence industry and civil industry, and therefore the concept of dual-use technologies is something that we have to assume as a reality of the current technological context.

Furthermore, many technological advances in defence end up having civil applications of major relevance

and utility, with the inverse also happening: basic and civilly-oriented research finds new uses and developments in the defence sector.

In Spain, we have the scientific talent, industrial fabric and institutional structure that are required to successfully participate in the next framework programme for R&D&i of the European Defence Action Plan. This is a unique opportunity for boosting the development of a leading industry in Spain and for decisively contributing to the military sovereignty of the European Union and the security of our citizens.

We encourage our scientific, business and entrepreneurial communities to work together with generosity and overcome any cultural barriers and language differences that may exist. If we succeed, the opportunity of the Europe of Defence could, just like previous European programmes, be a new boost for developing and modernizing not only the defence industry but also the national industrial fabric and the scientific community as a whole.

THE OPPORTUNITYOF THE NEW EUROPEAN DEFENCE

Success in getting the old continent to have an autonomous defence system will allow us to improve capabilities and will lead the industry to becoming the strategic sector that Spain needs.

pain has always been one of the most committed countries to cooperation on defence among Member States of the European Union: known as the Europe of Defence. Especially since the EU begin its relaunch in November 2016, our country has played an active and leading role in this process, the ultimate objective of which is for the Union to have a certain degree of strategic autonomy.

Spain’s commitment to defending the old continent comes from afar, and it involves, in addition to our solid contribution to the Atlantic Alliance, the active participation of our military personnel in missions of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Up to now, the Spanish Armed Forces have participated in all these military missions and operations, including the six that are currently active.

Thus, we have troops of our armed Forces on training missions of the EU (EUTM Mali, EUTM Somalia and EUTM Central African Republic), in the two naval forces that the EU currently has deployed (Eunavfor MED operation Sophia and Eunavfor Somalia operation

Atalanta) and on its military advising mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (EUFOR operation Althea). Moreover, our solidarity with the common defence of Member States also means that our military personnel participate in a Battle Group, which Spain places at the disposal of the EU every two or three years.

All these commitments, which support our national defence and security, are completely complementary with the Atlantic Alliance, of which our country has formed a part since 1982. In fact, Spain has defended the strategic association between NATO and the EU, a relationship that has reached unprecedented levels of cooperation in recent years, as His Majesty the King of Spain, Felipe VI, recalled in his speech before the North Atlantic Council on 21 November 2018: “As part of this commitment to strengthening Europe’s security, Spain has the strong conviction that strong transatlantic ties must be maintained. Transatlantic solidarity and cohesion are fundamental”.

Spain thus reinforces the conviction that our defence policy must be realistic and cooperative, which is

demonstrated by its active participation in operations, missions and structures, both of NATO and the European Union. Consolidating the relationship between the two organisations and the boost from the so-called EU “Defence Package” have become crucial for Europe, particularly over the course of the last two years. It must be kept in mind that the capabilities of the states are unique, wherefore unnecessary duplicities must be avoided at all times.

It was mainly at the beginning of this new stage when Spain positioned itself at the “hard core”, together with France, Germany and Italy, to drive new initiatives. The EU thus seeks to reinforce decision-making structures and mechanisms, as well as the operational and industrial aspects of defence, so that it can act wherever and however it may be necessary.

Spain, as stated, has played a very active role in this development, and we’ve co-led the launch and operational start-up of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO). Thanks to this mechanism of the EU Treaty, we members of the Union can increase

our military and industrial cooperation through commitments that will boost European defence through different instruments, as well as improve the execution of missions and operations of the CSDP.

In this regard, Spain’s commitment to leading the project for a Strategic Command and Control System (ESC2) for these missions is another example of its allegiance to the common defence project. Moreover, our country is participating in another 16 projects out of the 34 that have been approved up to now, thereby making it the third-leading Member State with the most participation.We also play a very active role in all the mechanisms that

allow boosting the common financing to implement these initiatives, such as the European Defence Fund. This formula, which seeks to foster collaborative research and development projects in which at least three Member States participate, will lead to the necessary cooperation for covering military needs and coordinating the strategies of all countries in order to create joint programmes. We likewise participate in the Coordinated Annual Review on Defence, which will allow an increase in the real cooperation between the different military staffs of European Member States and, certainly, in the European Defence Agency, which coordinates this mechanism.

All these instruments and measures seek to improve the technological and industrial base of our Armed Forces, which are the true protagonists of Spain’s defence. Success in getting Europe to have an autonomous defence system will allow us to improve capabilities and will allow this industry to become the strategic sector that Spain needs. Development of the Europe of Defence will also allow strengthening one of the first objectives that I pointed out after being appointed as Chief of the Defence Staff: consolidating current military capabilities and maintaining them through the search for innovative solutions.

Developing and improving the capabilities that allow this Europe of Defence, in addition to providing a boost for military structures throughout Europe, are an opportunity to reinforce our national defence and improve our collective response capability to risks and threats, not just to Spain but to Europe as a whole. In this regard, our efforts to strengthen transatlantic ties also contribute to developing the necessary military capabilities for both NATO and the EU. Undoubtedly, a stronger European defence will benefit the defence of Spain, a crucial element for maintaining our security and freedom.

EUROPEAN INITIATIVES AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN SPAIN

New operational scenarios, new threats and the economic crisis have served to drive community alliances. In turn, the rationalisation that has occurred in the aeronautical sector could spread to other defence sectors, where national industry could find a niche.

he international arena has undergone major changes in recent years, giving rise to operational scenarios characterized by a highly dynamic and complex environment, as well as the appearance of new forms of threats, such as cyberattacks and other hybrid threats. This, combined with the international economic crisis and the European political juncture of recent years, has led to the implementation of EU initiatives designed to obtain military capabilities in the most efficient way possible.

The variability of these new threats demands new capabilities that are more complex and more costly, in both the research phase and in the development or acquisition phase. This is taking place at the same time that many EU defence budgets are shrinking, in which investments in R&D are taking some of the biggest hits.

It is therefore essential to develop the necessary capabilities or technologies in coordination and collaboration between the various Member States of the EU in order to offer a joint, complete and comprehensive response.

Strengthening the European defence industry, which will allow it to be more competitive and integrated, is key to strengthening common security and defence and to

implementing the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy as a consequence of increasing cooperation between countries and orienting capability development towards the priorities established by Europe.

EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK

The European Defence Action Plan (EDAP) is an initiative that was launched in November 2016 by the European Commission. Its objective is to promote a defence industry on the continent that is not only solid and competitive but also capable of equipping European armed forces with the capabilities and technologies they demand.

The EDAP is structured around four cornerstones, a highlight of which is the creation of a European Defence Fund (EDF). The other three cornerstones refer to promoting investments in the defence supply chain, reinforcing the single defence market and implementing broader EU policies regarding the area of defence.

The EDF is structured into two windows, one for research and another for capabilities. Initially it is called the Preparatory Action for Defence Research (PADR) for the 2017-2019 period and then the European Defence

Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) for the 2019-2020 period.

After the conclusion of the PADR and the EDIDP, the EDF Regulation will begin operating for the 2021-2027 period, which seeks greater integration of the preceding PADR and EDIDP and better exploitation of their results by covering the gap between the research and development phases. The EDF in this period will have a budget of 13 billion euros, of which 4.1 billion will be earmarked for research activities and 8.9 billion will be used for development activities.

The EDF will have a voluntary financial toolbox available to Member States for facilitating or structuring projects for the joint acquisition of defence capabilities and technologies financed by the EDF.

On the other hand, 23 countries of the European Union joined the initiative on Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) on Defence. PESCO is a treaty whereby signatory countries undertake to tackle new security challenges and advance towards greater integration and the strengthening of cooperation on defence within the framework of the EU. Currently, 34 projects have been approved in two phases, in which Spain is participating on

16. Our country leads one of the projects, which is related to the command and control system of EU operations.

SPAIN WITHIN THE EU’S INDUSTRIAL POLICY

All these initiatives arising in Europe within the area of security and defence are a great opportunity for Spain and its industry to secure an advantageous position and play a bigger leading role, even more so after the Brexit.

Spain’s participation and early involvement in these initiatives will, to a great extent, depend on how the national defence industry positions itself and on its future competitiveness. Knowing these initiatives and understanding them will facilitate the development of new capabilities and technologies for our Armed Forces,

supported by the available mechanisms in the EU, while at the same time enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of the Spanish defence industry.

On the other hand, in recent decades the European defence market has faced a process in which capabilities are being rationalized and concentrated, such as what has occurred in the aeronautical sector. In this regard, there are various sectors within the area of defence that could undergo a similar process, in which national industry could find a niche in order to preserve industrial capabilities that are deemed to be strategic.

NATIONAL PARTICIPATION IN EUROPEAN INITIATIVES

The Ministry of Defence has been working from the very start in both the EDAP and the PESCO through the creation of various inter-ministerial task forces, in which the national defence industry actively participates.

This has meant that the terms included in the current draft of the EDF regulation, as well as the regulations of the preceding PADR and EDIDP, are beneficial for the interests of both the Ministry of Defence and industry. Moreover,

the Ministry has held several informational sessions with the defence sector industry and with the Military Staff of the Army and Navy. This has meant major institutional support for industry with respect to its various possibilities of participating in both the PADR and the EDIDP, as well as direct participation in some of the PADR’s research projects.

AN OPPORTUNITY

New European initiatives represent a unique and exceptional opportunity for Spain, given that they will have

a major impact on the future systems to be developed on the continent in upcoming decades. By taking advantage of these initiatives, national industry could put itself in a strategic position in the rationalization process taking place in the defence market, which would moreover facilitate the development of capabilities of national interest.

On the other hand, within a European context in which cooperation on the development and acquisition of capabilities is no longer an option but rather an obligation, countries must be aware of the need to actively participate in these initiatives.

SPAIN IN THE RENEWED EUROPE OF DEFENCE

A practical process for stimulating cooperative defence programmes has been developed in record time, and it is already producing effects. The European Union has definitively entered the up-to-now forgotten area of defence and is willing to stay.

ne year ago, at about this same time, I wrote the following in the sixth edition of the annual publication, Spain Defence and Security Industry 2018: “The awareness that security is a matter of everyone’s concern, which we all pay for, is permeating Spanish and European society like never before. Our future means cooperation, and that will require additional efforts: financial, personal and from every country. Spain, a fundamental nation in the coordination of 21st century Europe, can neither decline its responsibilities nor abandon its political, economic and military interests in the European concert. The uncertainty in which we move will, above all, require efforts and the ability to adapt, by military and civil administrations and, without question, by the industrial fabric.”

One year later, the results couldn’t be more encouraging, regarding both the European Union and the role played by Spain and its commitment to take on a challenge of such magnitude.

In record time –at dizzying speeds compared to normal negotiations in the always tedious and complex bureaucratic machinery of the EU– a practical process for stimulating cooperative defence programmes has been developed, and it is already producing immediate effects and allowing us to get a glimpse of an even more promising future.

On the one hand, the regulation that governs the so-called European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) constitutes a sufficiently explicit indicator of what, in the long term, will be a future industrial policy of the European Union on matters of defence. On the other hand, the direct injection of over 13 billion euros of the Union’s common budget for researching and developing military capabilities, through the recently created European Defence Fund, is a tangible incentive, and it represents a before and an after in the role that the European Union is willing to play in this field. The European Union has definitively entered the up-to-now forgotten area of defence and is willing to stay.

Within this framework, Spain has progressed steadily throughout 2018 regarding the action lines that should make us key players in the process: participating in operations, developing the necessary military capabilities and adapting its civil, military and industrial structures to the new European challenges.

First, and as a fundamental line for acquiring its status as an essential country, the Armed Forces continue with their joint efforts in pursuit of contributing to common security and defence, in close cooperation with our allies and friends. Thus, and merely within the scope of

And as if this weren’t enough, in the other major security structure to which we belong (the Atlantic Alliance), Spain will continue to participate in the Enhanced Forward Presence in Latvia and in the Air Policing Operation that operates out of Lithuania. Our Patriot missiles will continue to protect the people of Turkey, and our warships will sail in the Standing Naval Forces of the Allied Maritime Command. Afghanistan and Iraq will continue to have our soldiers for support in the fight against the Taliban and the terrorists of Daesh. The UN will also have approximately 600 Spanish soldiers for operations in Lebanon. A total of over three thousand men and women risking their lives daily in defence of our interests and our security and that of our allies.

Second, and regarding the development of capabilities, we’ve seen the launch of new defence programmes: additional financing for the S-80 submarine, upgrading of CH-47 Chinook helicopters, the second lot of NH90

helicopters, a new generation of communications satellites, modernisation of the fleet of Eurofighter fighter-bombers and implementation of the F-110 frigate and 8x8 Dragón wheeled combat vehicle programmes. They are all essential for our Armed Forces, but they also have the virtue of sending a message of confidence to our allies The 20-some-odd projects of PESCO in which Spain plans on participating reinforce this message even more.

Finally, and regarding the adaptation of the civil and military administration, we’ve been witness to the definitive consolidation of a new way to face the challenges of 21st century Europe through the Inter-ministerial Group that was created to provide a multidisciplinary response to the challenges of

the European Defence Action Plan, with the active participation of the Ministries of Defence, Foreign Affairs, Economy, Public Finance and Industry and of the industrial associations, TEDAE and AESMIDE.

Moreover, industry has continued to extend its technological progress through constant innovation and accelerated internationalisation, thereby becoming another bastion of defence. The launch –in close cooperation with the Ministry of Defence– of accelerator projects for driving European consortiums with the most important countries (France, Germany and Italy), such as command and control of the future strategic headquarters of the European Union or the system for managing Emergency operations, designed to serve as the spearhead of Spanish industry in its assault on EU invitations to tender, is good evidence of this.

FEINDEF, the first international fair of the defence industry, which will be held in Madrid next May, is another indicator of the level of our effort and of inter-ministerial cooperation with Spanish industry.

The balance sheet couldn’t be more positive. Last year we witnessed the rapid development and consolidation of what, up until very recently, could only be imagined as mere initiatives of the most advanced Europhiles: regulations and, what is essential for success, the financing of cooperative defence projects for countries of the European Union.

Spain, namely its civil and military administrations and its industry, has reacted quickly and efficiently, thus placing these institutions in an unbeatable situation to make us a key player of the Europe of Defence. Due to our history, effort and commitment, we deserve it.

he European Defence Agency (EDA) is playing a central role in the new tools that Europe has been firmly working on since 2016 to achieve a Europe of Defence that is more industrially coordinated and involved. Its Chief Executive, the Spanish diplomat Jorge Domecq, tells us about the panorama of this unprecedented cooperation on the old continent.

Over the last three years, initiatives such as the European Defence Fund (EDF) and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) have been taking shape. Does 2019, as the year when these initiatives are finally under way, mark the tipping point towards the new Europe of Defence?2019 is an important trial year. It’s when Federica Mogherini ends her term as the High Representative of the European Union, who was in charge of preparing and presenting the overall strategy. The only thing remaining now is to implement a few instruments that have already

acquired a certain degree of definition. Ministers would like for the next report submitted in 2020 to include specific recommendations, after the first one of November 2018 clearly indicated the structural programmes that Europe should undertake in the upcoming years.

The High Representative will conduct the first evaluation of Permanent Structured Cooperation this spring, after barely one year of life. In the European Defence Fund, we are approaching the three-year span of the technological scope under the Preparatory Action managed by the EDA. Now the results must be tested in projects and programmes such as the Ocean 2020 demonstrator (for example), on which 42 entities from 25 countries are participating, including the notable presence of Spanish companies. I’m fairly confident that these instruments will be consolidated and will lead to results, but for this to happen, Member States must take ownership of the instruments, must keep them in mind and must execute them in their national plans.

INTERVIEWJorge Domecq,Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency, EDA

“ IN FIVE TO TEN YEARS THE EUROPEAN DEFENCE INDUSTRY WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT”

The old continent is facing a key year regarding the greatest change undertaken by its military sector in decades. Some of the new instruments of this change are already up and running, with evaluations on a few even beginning for the first time this spring.

Is the new policy of industrial collaboration going to be extended to large systems, such as fighters, tanks or frigates?Without a doubt. While Member States take time on these types of complex programmes that have strategic and industrial implications, in the future programmes that are deemed to be structural will be identified through the annual defence review so that countries can work together. For now, the Euromale strategic done has already been included in the second group of 17 projects selected last November under Permanent Structured Cooperation. Those projects also involve important capabilities in the cyber and maritime areas. I imagine that, in due course, other more important capabilities will be contemplated, such as the future European combat aircraft. For now, the aircraft has to mature before being transferred to a project that gets up and running in Permanent Structured Cooperation, or outside of it, which will depend on the will of the Member States. Under normal circumstances,

given that it’s a structural project, it should end up in Permanent Structured Cooperation.

What is the schedule for upcoming PESCO projects?This spring, Member States will once again be asked to submit projects that they think should be included. It’s a major effort, because the pace is fairly fast, and we have to ensure that the quality of projects does not consequently suffer. This is something that we also have to study. In other words, in spring when the High Representative presents her report on how PESCO is developing, we will also present some lessons learned about the best way to move ahead, which includes when we must request new projects.

What has changed so that, within a few years, European countries have gone from cutting their military budgets to undertaking specific projects to consolidate a true Europe of Defence?

PESCO is a clause that was already provided for in the Treaty of the European Union, although it had never been activated. What has obviously changed is the strategic context within Europe and its surrounding environment. There is also a second circumstance that makes it urgent to have a solution for European defence: the current technological revolution, which clearly shows that success can only be achieved through cooperation.

How much weight does the arrival of Trump to the White House have in this strengthening of European ties?It’s not just a matter of the current American administration, which on the other hand has increased NATO’s military presence and investments in infrastructure. A turn towards

Asia had already taken place in the Obama administration, so there is a trend, among other things because there’s a generational change that is less prone to seeing the unquestionable link between an increasingly more integrated EU and a NATO that provides for collective defence, which isn’t in question. But it is true that this continuous and repeated call by the current US president represents an incentive to building European defence.

Is it possible to build this Defence without reaching NATO’s recommendation to allocate 2% of the GDP to defence?The increase in investment is absolutely necessary, considering the notable reduction of defence budgets that occurred in Europe following the end of the Cold

War, and even more so due to the economic crisis. We had reached a point that was difficult to sustain, and the tendency had to be reversed. But I’m not a big fan of turning a certain figure into an icon. And spending more doesn’t necessarily result in an increase in military capability. It is undoubtedly necessary to spend more, but above all we have to do so better, which in European terms means cooperation. No Member State can assure the strategic autonomy that Europe needs to take action in future crises with sufficient material and human means. All countries are therefore called upon to intensify cooperation. The initiatives currently on the table are all about that cooperation, and now is the time to turn them into a reality.

Is the European defence industry also going to be capable of getting past its current division to achieve this? If the governments are determined to increase cooperation, then industry must know how to second it and take care of the needs established by the former. One example is the agreement I previously mentioned

regarding the use of European funds to finance a demonstrator with the participation of 42 entities. This case shows that if industry is sure about the needs and about where investments are going to take place, then it can provide the necessary technological solutions. Fortunately, we’ve known how to protect industrial capabilities through different programmes. Industry needs to have a more foreseeable panorama in order to contribute, above all in this time of technological revolution, and it has to increasingly work without borders in Europe. At the same time, the nature of the defence industry on the continent is changing. Within five to ten years, it’s going to be very different.

How will it change?The majority of large technological innovations used to go from the military sector to the civil sector. Now the trend is reversing, with solutions from the civil arena being applied to the military arena. A very clear example is artificial intelligence, where Europe has to make a bigger effort. It’s going to revolutionise how defence and our armed forces are managed in the future.

NATIONS AND INDUSTRY FACING THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE EDAP

2019 will be a real moment of truth for taking advantage of opportunities, both by nations, which will be able to acquire capabilities through cooperation that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to obtain, and by industry, which will be able to assure its viability by participating in the development of the CSDP.

n the long and always difficult road towards a true Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) of the European Union (EU), activities by institutions of the old continent have represented a huge leap in achieving that objective in recent years. With a renewed level of ambition regarding the role that the EU must play in the security and defence of its citizens, as it is set forth in the EU Global Strategy (EUGS) of 2016, an unprecedented package of measures related to European defence was implemented.

It’s a package with three major cornerstones: new political objectives and greater commitments so that Europeans assume greater responsibility regarding their security and defence; new financial instruments (the so-called European Defence Action Plan [EDAP]) to help Member States and the European defence industry develop capabilities that are identified as priority within the framework of the Capability Development Plan (CDP), thereby contributing to the Union’s strategic autonomy; and a set of specific actions in response to the EU-NATO Joint Declaration pertaining to areas of cooperation between both supranational organisations.

The first cornerstone focused, among other things, on the adoption of a Decision by the Council in November

2017 (a “Decision” under EU Law is binding in nature), thereby establishing Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO). This figure was already included in Article 42 of the Treaty of Lisbon, although it was implemented nine years later and according to the criterion of “inclusiveness”, in clear opposition to said Article 42 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), which states that “Member States whose military capabilities fulfil higher criteria and which have made more binding commitments to one another in this area with a view to the most demanding missions” shall establish permanent structured cooperation. In any event, the Decision on PESCO opens up a terrific opportunity for Member States (if they are willing and able) to jointly develop defence capabilities, invest in shared projects and improve the operational contribution and availability of their armed forces, thereby contributing to achieving a true CSDP.

Said Decision furthermore established a list of common, more binding commitments, which include increases in defence budgets, in research and development expenditure and in the number of collaborative strategic projects. One of these commitments, number 18, considered the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR), which I have the honour of

directing, as the preferred organisation for managing armament programmes. Without a doubt, this means major support from Institutions and Member States for the management of OCCAR, which Spain has been a part of since 2005 and which in September celebrated the 20th anniversary of the convention according to which it is governed.

But the second cornerstone of the aforementioned defence package, meaning the new financial instruments, is by far that which has represented a more than notable milestone in the 62 years since the current European Union was formed.

The European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP), the financial instrument proposed by the European Commission within the EDAP, whose ground rules were approved in the summer of 2018, was presented as a pilot programme with respect to the possible inclusion of a budget line in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) of the EU for 2021-2027. The EDIDP will open the doors to the European Defence Fund (EDF), which will be the programme associated with the 2021-2027 MFF, and it will establish a before and an after regarding how defence programmes are financed in Europe.

This programme, which as of the date of this article is expected to be approved in the initial months of 2019, will (with 500 million euros) finance cooperative programmes that include the participation of at least three Member States and that contribute to innovation and to the competitiveness of the European defence industry.

PESCO and the EDIDP are opportunities for not only favouring multinational cooperation in the attainment of capabilities but also for strengthening and promoting innovation and the competitiveness of the European defence industry. But every opportunity is always associated with a challenge. The challenge is two-fold: for nations, meaning for governments, and for the European defence industry itself.

38 / Spain 2019


For nations, their first challenge (within their capabilities planning process) continues to be to identify those capabilities that they would be willing to share through cooperation with other countries. Subsequently, the challenge is to find a common denominator in the operational requirements of the weapons systems they seek, and then manage the cooperative acquisition of those systems. I think that the key in 2019 and subsequent years is going to be the contributions by organisations that already exist, such as the EDA

THE CONTRIBUTION FROM ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS THE EDA AND THE OCCAR WILL BE KEY IN 2019

(European Defence Agency), for identifying capabilities and harmonizing requirements, and the OCCAR, for obtaining capabilities, based on its 20 years of experience on managing complex armament programmes.

For industry, the opportunity being offered by the EU through the contribution of additional funds for promoting cooperation, and therefore the launch of armament acquisition programmes, becomes a challenge of resorting to the European market –thereby

including not only a high level of technology and competitiveness but also increased internationalisation– and, especially, searching for partners with which, together, innovative projects can be presented and selected within the EDIDP work programme.

2019 will therefore be a real moment of truth for overcoming the aforementioned challenges and taking advantage of the opportunities offered both to nations, in order to acquire capabilities in cooperation that they

couldn’t otherwise obtain, and to industry, which will be able to assure its viability by participating in the development of the CSDP. The future of nations and industry will depend on how they understand the concept of multinational cooperation. For nations, what is at stake is having adequately equipped Armed Forces that are capable of taking on their international commitments, whether within the framework of NATO or of the EU. For industry, what is at stake is the key to its survival and continuing development within the highly competitive defence sector.

THE EUROPE OF DEFENCE WHERE WE ARE HEADED

The current establishment of unprecedented EU defence initiatives is not the end of the road. To the contrary: at the beginning of 2019, we find ourselves at an exciting starting point, at which we must ask ourselves not only where we are headed but also where we want to go.

’m pleased to provide the vision of Spain’s Military Representation to NATO and the European Union for the 7th edition of Spain Defence and Security Industry, the European opportunity. This is especially so because we Spaniards who work daily in Brussels –military personnel, diplomats and experts in all areas related to security and defence– are very certain of the fact that we are indeed facing a historic opportunity, presented to us by the governments of EU Member States, with Spain in the lead group.

The EU’s approach to the problem of defence goes beyond merely identifying the threats, prioritising the military capabilities that each State must contribute to counteract those threats (what and who) and identifying the required GDP (how much). The EU, especially since 2016, has moreover added the “how” to developing these capabilities, efficiently and in collaboration, in order to go from being buyers to suppliers of our own defence needs and therefore getting the most out of every euro invested.

And everything “for what”. In brief, the objective continues to be to provide the Armed Forces of Member States with the necessary capabilities for meeting the European Union’s Level of Ambition (LoA). This currently

involves the execution of 17 missions and operations –six of which are military– with a total of over 3,000 troops: three non-executive military missions for training in Mali, the Central African Republic and Somalia, and three executive operations in the Indian Ocean, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Mediterranean (Atalanta, Althea and Sophia).

To understand where we are and where we are headed, or better said, where we want to go, we must analyse the steps that have been taken up to now in the EU, beginning with the Global Security Strategy (EUGS) in June 2016 as the kick-off. This strategy, in the words of the EU’s High Representative, Federica Mogherini, represents “a shared vision and common action”. This strategy clearly defines both the action priorities abroad and the priority capability areas for investment and collaboration that will make the EU a relevant global player, with strategic autonomy, adequate military capabilities and the political will to respond to current and emerging risks and threats, not only from an integrated civil-military perspective but also always seeking synergies with NATO.

Among the actions for implementing this strategy, the Council of Europe resolved to revise the Capability Development Plan (CDP), which establishes the necessary

priorities to be able to comply with the EU’s Level of Ambition and which will be prepared between 2017 and 2018 by the European Defence Agency (EDA) in coordination with the European Union Military Committee (EUMC) and Member States. This plan received the support of the European Commission through the European Defence Action Plan (EDAP). Its fundamental contribution has been the launch of the European Defence Fund (EDF), which is expected to begin in 2021, and its two complementary cornerstones: the “research window” (R&T), initiated in 2017 and managed by the EDA, with a budget of 90 million euros between 2017 and 2020; and the “capability window”, initiated in July 2018 through the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP), with a budget of 500 million euros between 2019 and 2020, in addition to other measures for fomenting investment and development. Likewise, in May 2017 the Council designated the EDA so that, in cooperation with EU military authorities, it could prepare an annual report (Coordinated Annual Review on Defence – CARD) to help Member States provide the necessary capabilities and improve their cooperation on defence. It thus identifies cooperative development opportunities and orients defence spending in a prioritised, coherent, coordinated and cooperative manner, thereby avoiding duplicities and maximising industrial synergies.

Finally, the last of the initiatives within the framework of developing the EU’s capabilities arrived in December 2017 with the establishment of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), to which all the Member States adhered, except for the United Kingdom, Denmark and Malta. Through this platform, participating countries are bound to meet a series of commitments. They involve (among others) an increase in defence spending, the harmonisation of requirements, improved availability, the deployment capability and interoperability of forces and carrying out specific collaborative projects based on voluntary participation. Subsequently, in March 2018, a set of 17 PESCO projects was approved, subsequently extended to 34 by the Foreign Affairs Council meeting in November 2018, with the participation of the Ministers of Defence.

WE ARE CERTAINLY FACING A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY

42 / Spain 2019


Regarding this initiative, Spain is leading the project, Strategic Command and Control (C2) System for CSDP Missions and Operations, and it is participating in 16 others, including some of major importance, such as the MALE RPAS (Eurodrone) and the Tiger Mark III. Spain is the biggest contributor to PESCO, after Italy (21 projects) and France (20). The Spanish project, in which Indra leads a consortium currently formed by Leonardo, Rheinmetall and Thales, is an ambitious project that will benefit not only the partner countries of the project (Spain, Italy, Germany, France and Portugal), but also the recently created military command structure of the EU for missions and operations abroad. This structure is derived from the security strategy, called Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC), whose command and control system is currently managed by another Spanish company: GMV.

Therefore, it can be categorically affirmed that the EU’s efforts in the area of defence between 2016 and 2018 are unprecedented. These efforts cover all levels of European institutions –political, strategic, military and technical– and include both operational and industrial perspectives: from defining priorities to implementing the necessary tools for promoting and incentivising the cooperative development of capabilities and research.

In this entire process, Spain has always been present at the head of the Union, and in the words of the Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles: “Spain is a serious and reliable partner, thus reinforcing our commitment to the EU”. Indeed, Spain endorses this affirmation by being the biggest contributor to the European Union’s military missions and operations: up to 940 troops, which means approximately 30% of the total personnel deployed on EU operations, thereby constituting the best example of our firm commitment.

This exemplary participation also represents an excellent letter of introduction so that our voice can be heard NA

when defining and launching all the initiatives that will define the development of the EU’s capabilities in upcoming years. In both Spain and Brussels, people have worked hard and have fought for every decision of the Council to build a Europe of Defence in which our military and industrial needs and priorities are taken into account in the Global Security Strategy.

However, establishing these initiatives does not represent the end of the road, and in fact we are at the beginning of the window of opportunity. Thus, at the beginning of 2019, we are at an exciting starting point, where we must look at the desired medium- and long-term situation, in other words: we must ask ourselves not only where we are headed but also where we want to go. In the words of the Chief of the Defence Staff in the preceding edition of this publication: “We need a technologically advanced industrial base for defence that is competitive, stable and capable of supplying the systems and equipment required by the Armed Forces”.

We must take advantage of the opportunity now being presented to us by the EU to invest in the future of such a critical national sector. We must improve national coordination between institutions and industry, especially regarding investments in research and technology, so that we are capable of swiftly, effectively and cooperatively providing not only the priority capabilities of the Spanish Armed Forces but also those of the remaining EU Member States.

Institutional and financial support that contributes to the success of the first initiatives is therefore essential, such as for the Spanish PESCO project regarding command and control, so that those initiatives serve as an example of and promotion for the Spain brand, including the defence sector, and so that, in the long term, Spanish industries are at the head of an interconnected and competitive Europe of Defence.

THE BEST DEFENCE STRATEGY

Today our companies enjoy a solid position in the international market thanks to decades of sustained investment in innovation. They are aware that this is their great competitive bargaining chip in a Europe that has finally understood the importance of the military.

common European defence policy has ceased to be a well-intentioned Europhile ideal and has become a clear commitment shared by the majority of EU members. Little by little, with prudent and timid advances over the last 25 years, it has finally gathered momentum after the bases that were established when signing the Maastricht treaty. We could say that, finally, the old taboos existing in the common heritage of Europeans regarding defence and the military have been cleared away, although perhaps they haven’t yet vanished.

Reality, as we well know, is very stubborn. While the economy and policy had been the backbones of the EU up to this point, now there is even more reason for defence to take its place. In view of new threats, geopolitical tensions and conflicts of very diverse natures, Europe realizes that the moment has arrived to assume responsibility for its own security.

We Europeans have had to wait for these last three years (2016, 2017 and 2018) to finally adopt commitments for the Europe of Defence. Indeed, measures have been implemented in this short period of time, and the cornerstones for sustaining it have been established: the European Defence Action Plan (EDAP), the European Defence Fund (EDF) –including its two windows of

research and capabilities– and the EU’s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), among other regulations and instruments. And finally, a decided commitment has been made to create an integrated, solid and competitive European industrial base, which is regarded as another military capability and allows us to develop the capacity and technologies that are required to make it all possible.

It’s a great challenge that will undoubtedly contribute to making Europe better, and it will give us the chance to once again see that, together, we can achieve more than everyone on their own. Regardless of the fact that, occasionally, there are specific sovereign interests that don’t coincide.

And Member States must therefore undertake more effective and efficient defence and security spending, must assure an integrated and competitive European industrial and technology base through collaboration in consortiums and must take advantage of technological and industrial synergies, thereby stimulating economic growth, employment and innovation. With the important novelty that, for the first time, the financing of defence and its industry is being contemplated. Thus assuring the security of European citizens with greater efficiency and ambition.

For Spain, the common European defence policy consequently means important challenges and opportunities in terms of leadership, influence and commitment. The defence objectives and strategy that we define will be of key importance. They will be not only for Spain as a country but obviously also (and considerably) for our defence industry, which aspires to form a part of that European industrial base. And that is because defence companies don’t want to waste this chance to grow in technological leadership and competitiveness by participating in future programmes that are launched in the new Europe of Defence that is knocking at the door. No one should have any doubt that we are appropriately prepared. Good proof of the technological leadership of our companies is that, as of today, several of them are already participating in various R&D programmes and in PESCO.

We have obviously not been alone along this road. We have been supported at all times by our Ministry of Defence, by our Public Administration, by our representatives in European institutions and by successive governments, with whom we have continuously and fluidly maintained a dialogue and exchanged information and positions. A key and fundamental

factor of that support is the investment plan on strategic defence materials, approved in the final months of 2018 in Spain, which will represent a decided boost to assuring the competitive position of our industry in Europe and international markets.

In turn, companies are doing their homework and are developing products and services of high technological value in all areas: land, sea, air, space and cyber space. And they are covering the complete product life cycle: design, development, manufacturing, integration and maintenance. Today our companies enjoy a solid position in the international market thanks to decades of sustained investment in innovation. They are aware that this is their great competitive bargaining chip. Our sector

is composed in part by a reduced number of large, anchor companies and in part –the remaining 83%– by SMEs that play a relevant role in strengthening the Spanish industrial fabric. According to data of the last available financial year (2017), defence companies associated with the TEDAE invest over 10% of their turnover in R&D&i and export over 80% of their production.

In the Spanish defence industry, we are aware of the major technological and business challenges that we face. First of all, we know that, in order to continue advancing, we must maintain our decided commitment on R&D&i. We must develop our own technologies and products and adapt to the growing digitisation, without forgetting that we also have to innovate so that supply chains gain efficiency and internationalisation processes are streamlined. Defence companies that belong to the

TEDAE are also working on exploring possible synergies and ways to collaborate with companies from other countries. In brief, we seek integration in industrial consortiums and alliances that are going to develop the capabilities and technologies that Europe identifies as being necessary for its strategic autonomy.

At TEDAE, we are furthermore aware of the role that we must play as an association of reference in this new scenario. This role most certainly means continuing to collaborate with our institutions, just as we have been doing up to now, in order to ensure that the rules of the future European defence market allow our companies to compete under equal conditions. But this role also means continuing to drive competitiveness, promoting industrial coordination and driving our participation in winning industrial consortiums, in addition to reaching

Spain has proved that it is a serious and reliable ally in this process towards the Europe of common defence. It is a position that has been clearly ratified by our governments on numerous occasions. Now the idea is to continue advancing on building that solid European industrial base that can respond to threats, given that without it neither security nor defence are possible. That’s why, today, close cooperation among all the players involved is more necessary than ever: governments, administrations and companies. And the unconditional support of our fellow citizens is also necessary to broaden and strengthen our culture of defence. This is the only way it will be possible, among all of us, to build the best defence strategy.

A BOOST FOR SMES

The European Defence Action Plan (EDAP) marks the turning point towards a new horizon for European industry, which lacked an open and competitive defence market. The new scenario represents a unique opportunity for Spanish companies.

urrently, national industry as a whole is in the middle of a process of adaptation and evolution towards a reality defined by the challenges of globalisation and digital transformation. The defence sector, as a part of that national industry, is likewise affected by those challenges, particularly by the actions being taken by the European Union to move forward in strengthening its Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).

Up to now, defence had exclusively been a national affair, but the need for common defence and security has become clear in recent years. A lack of cooperation has revealed extensive weaknesses in this sector, not only operationally but also economically, given that a lack of cooperation creates duplicities and therefore inefficient spending.

This diagnosis brought the subject of defence to the foreground in the European Union, which consequently resulted in implementation of the European Defence Action Plan (EDAP) in November 2016. This initiative of the European Commission originated with the main objectives of harmonizing the efforts of all the Member States, reinforcing common security and, in brief, promoting a solid and competitive industrial base for

defence. It has unquestionably represented a turning point and a new horizon for European industry, which lacked an open and competitive defence market.

Along this new path, Spanish companies cannot and must not be left behind. In fact, we can already affirm that their participation has resulted in notably visible success. This new scenario has represented a unique opportunity to lead projects and demonstrate the potential of our companies on the other side of our borders.

The aforementioned, industry-transforming challenges unavoidably cause changes in business activity and in the creation of products and services. In this regard, the formation of consortiums is gaining ground as a tool for carrying out projects in which it would be difficult to be successful working alone. This is one of the traits that characterize the EDAP, which sets forth the requirement (among others) to establish consortiums among various companies belonging to at least three different countries. Such a condition thus attempts to incentivize cross-border participation among companies and promote cooperation, a basic principle of the European Union.

However, this requirement is not a challenge for the companies of our association because forming consortiums is one of the main features of AESMIDE’s members, which are familiar with the need for and advantages of cooperation among companies of various sizes, sectors and natures. At AESMIDE, the push for this culture of association has meant success on a number of complex projects in areas such as food, integrated facilities maintenance, cleaning, energy efficiency and the procurement of equipment and uniforms. In fact, there is a company in our organisation that specialises in creating and managing consortiums. This experience undoubtedly gives our companies a major advantage within the EDAP.

One of the other objectives sought by the EDAP is to strengthen the role of SMEs, the engine of growth in Europe. The figures speak for themselves: in Europe there are 23 million SMEs (99% of the total of all companies), which provide 67% of the employment and create 85% of all new job positions.

In Spain, the figures are equivalent. According to the official data of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, 99.2% of all companies are small, encompassing 51.1% of employment and representing

65.4% of R&D. This explains why the EDAP framework provides for deductions on projects whose consortiums include the participation of an SME.

The role of SMEs in the economy and in industry is undeniable. However, this great player still encounters major difficulties when it comes to participating on the playing field. The lack of financing, barriers to internationalization and occasionally little negotiation capacity are added market unawareness and competency.

At business associations, we try to help pave the way towards achieving their objectives. The majority of AESMIDE’s companies are SMEs, so we have first-

hand knowledge of the obstacles that can hinder their prospects. However, our confidence in their potential is unfailing, and this is what has led us to bolster our members within the sphere of the EDAP.

Ever since its approval, we visualised the huge opportunity that the initiative would mean for our small enterprises by giving them a leading role in acquiring projects. Therefore, as from the beginning of 2017 we decided to create an internal task force through which we can keep our members informed in a timely manner. The task force’s meetings serve as a channel for compiling any questions and suggestions that could be forwarded to the Inter-ministerial task force, of which we form a part. In brief, the main objective is to prevent companies from moving ahead blindly, thereby allowing them to successfully demonstrate their competitiveness.

This is the same support and commitment that we apply in the national arena, where the terrain is without a doubt more well known. In this regard, associations and business clusters fulfil a key function as liaisons between the Ministry of Defence and SMEs by attempting to harmonise general interests between industry and national defence.

For any sector, but especially in Defence, dialogue between the Administration and the pertinent associations and forums is essential, given that it facilitates the beneficial exchange of knowledge and allows measures and initiatives to be implemented. A recent example of this is the first edition of Spain’s International Defence Fair (FEINDEF), which will take place in May 2019 and is being organized by AESMIDE and TEDAE, with the support of the Ministry of Defence.

The Fair first of all endeavours to serve as an international showcase for our Armed Forces, but it also offers business opportunities by bringing together, in one place, the main technological capabilities of the Spanish defence and security industry. Moreover, it provides the right space and tools to search for collaboration and synergies in order to form consortiums within the multitude of defence-related technologies. AESMIDE is sure about the fact that the Fair is clearly an opportunity to showcase the defence industry, whose objective is improve the quality of life of soldiers, from uniforms to technology applied to all their needs.

Spain has a great challenge in the future: presenting ourselves to the world as a strong country with true synergy between the government and enterprises, while using our experience and proven excellence in many countries as our credentials. AE

Development of the defence industry will be strengthened through coordination and by taking advantage of synergies with the industrial fabric as a whole, including SMEs, in addition to collaborating with the academic sector and research bodies.

istory gives us numerous examples of major advances in scientific-technical knowledge that have occurred in times of geopolitical conflict. The defence area has, for decades, been a creator and driver of some of the main technological achievements. Portable medical equipment, such as the X-ray equipment conceived of by Madame Curie during the First World War, canned goods, laminated glass, sunglasses, GPS, artificial satellites, microwave ovens, radar, ultrasound techniques, the Internet, drones and so on are inventions that originally arose from military need and then became a part of our life in society.

Innovation and military research have served civil industries in a wide range of sectors and technologies, including medicine, every mode of transport, space, energy, information technologies, communications, new materials and biotechnology.

The defence industry and public powers increasingly recognize the need to foster the dual use of technology in a model that plans for dual use in R&D&i processes and not just as an alternating transfer of technology from civil to military and vice versa. Thus, the development of a defence industry will be strengthened through coordination and by taking advantage of synergies

with the industrial fabric as a whole, including SMEs, in addition to collaborating with the academic sector and research bodies.

In turn, the European Union, a natural ally of NATO, must get past fragmented and inefficient defence systems, which are in need of renovation and modernisation. The EU is therefore posing its own defence and security strategy to boost industry in the sector and reduce dependence on foreign technology, among other things.

In 2014, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, gave his vision of a “Europe that protects, a Europe that empowers, a Europe that defends” its citizens. European defence and security policy has become a priority that was translated into the implementation, in 2016, of the European Defence Action Plan (EDAP), which was backed by Member States, Parliament and the Commission in their joint declaration of 27 March 2017.

Under this scenario, the creation of a European Defence Fund (EDF) was approved in June 2017, with a research section and another capabilities section. Initially, the EDAP was implemented with two initiatives, one for each section. The first is the Preparatory Action for

Defence Research (PADR), with a budget of 90 million euros for transnational collaborative R&D&i projects, covering the 2017-2019 period. The second is the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP), for which the Commission is contributing 500 million euros for the 2019-2020 period, earmarked for co-financing collaborative projects between Member States, with the objective of Member States increasing that financing by a factor of five.

The two programmes (PADR and EDIDP) will converge in the EDF, whose proposal for regulation, presented by the Commission in June 2018 and with the partial agreement of the European Council of November 2018, contemplates a single fund of 13 billion euros from the European Union for the 2021-2027 period: 4.1 billion euros for collaborative R&D and 8.9 billion euros for the development of Defence capabilities.

R&D actions, with financing from the European Commission, are developed through transnational collaborative projects on multi-disciplinary consortiums that are similar to those financed by the Horizon 2020 European Framework Programme for R&D&i. The programme is managed through the EDA (European Defence Agency),

assisted by a management committee with representatives from Member States, and it has already resolved the first call for proposals, launched in 2017.

The EDIDP is also managed through the EDA, whose first call for proposals is expected in 2019. In this case, the Defence Departments of Member States must be explicitly committed to the projects. European financing contemplates financing from the Member States that participate in the calls for proposals.

Consequently, national administrations collaborate with the European administration within a joint framework. Furthermore, the various administrations of Member

States that have competencies in the area of Defence and R&D&i are called upon to harmonise their actions. In Spain’s case, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, given its area of competency, is responsible for actively contributing to policies related to R&D&i in the sector, together with the Ministry of Defence.

The Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), a body that reports to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, is a point of reference in the promotion and financing of business R&D&i in Spain, and it is committed to the development of dual-use technologies. The CDTI contributes its extensive experience of over 40 years in the support of Spanish companies. Regarding the lines in which no sector or technology is specified, this body approved at least 56 operations related to Security and Defence between 2016 and October 2018, including contributions to projects amounting to over 42 million euros.

Ever since the CDTI took over Spanish participation in the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1986, the centre has been deploying activities that have a more strategic orientation regarding the aerospace sector, the nature of which is linked to the development of dual technology. As an example, we mention three of the most notable programmes.

One takes place within the framework of Strategic Development Programmes. The latter initiative was in force until 2011, and its objective was to provide

industry with the technological capability to participate in specific development projects, such as Airbus, large civil aircraft engines, the Eurocopter, systems of systems and the development of UAVs, among others. Under the programme, the CDTI approved and financed two large, dual-use projects, with a contribution of 88 million euros: the unmanned aircraft Atlante, and airborne radar ORUS.

Another programme is the National Earth Observation Satellite Programme (PNOT), which involves the launch into orbit and operation of two Earth observation satellites. One is based on optical technology (Seosat/Ingenio) and the other on radar technology (Seosar/Paz). Seosat, in particular, is set up as a national programme through the Spanish contribution to the ESA, which is responsible for technical and contractual management, while the CDTI, on behalf of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, manages the programme aspects. With a cost initially amounting to 239 million euros, the satellite is expected to be launched at the beginning of 2020.

The third is the European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU-SST). It is co-financed between the European Commission and Member States with capabilities. In 2015, Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, in consortium, joined the Satellite Centre of the European Union to offer services related to collision warnings, atmosphere re-entry monitoring and the detection of on-orbit fragmentations. The CDTI is the

entity that represents Spain in that consortium, and it is also responsible for developing the Spanish SST System (S3T), thereby taking a leading role in contributing to the European system. Given the nature of some of the observed objects, there is major cooperation with the Ministry of Defence. The CDTI manages over 100 million euros in national funds, which are basically used to develop Spanish capabilities in SST, plus a growing sum of funds from the European Union.

Furthermore, the experience amassed by the CDTI in promoting and boosting Spanish participation in successive editions of the European Framework Programme on Research and Development (Horizon 2020 in its current edition) will help contribute to positioning the Spanish Defence industry in the new European scenario that will take shape as the EDF is applied and in the European Policy on Security and Defence as a whole.

The plan not only seeks to increase R&D&i budgets earmarked for dual-use technologies in the upcoming years, in both the public and private arenas, it also seeks to simultaneously rationalise and optimise the structure of the Defence sector in Europe. For Spain, it is more important than ever to spur action and combine capabilities to create an ecosystem of civil and military cooperation in the country, while at the same time boosting the industrial sector as a whole. The CDTI is prepared to collaborate with the Ministry of Defence and thus contribute to developing a high-tech and internationally competitive industry in this area.

ERA OF CHANGES OR CHANGE OF ERA?

We have yet to see if the novelties that have energized the industrial sector of defence, which has fought against the clock to avoid losing market share to international competitors, will mean a return to normal or getting past it.

f we listen to the story offered by the heads of Government, Defence, the Armed Forces and companies, the Spanish defence industry is experiencing an era of changes. Many of them are due to the change in the economic cycle, which has allowed defence budgets to be increased, spending ceilings to be raised and new programmes to be contracted. Others are in response to European initiatives for financing investment and developing military capabilities with European Funds (European Defence Action Plan, EDAP; Preparatory Action for Defence Research, PADR; and European Defence Industrial Development Programme, EDIDP). And last but not least, the Government has assumed collective commitments in both the EU and NATO to preserve and reinforce its defence capabilities. The changes are positive and have energised an industrial sector that was fighting against the clock to avoid losing both competitiveness and market share to its international competitors, and it was expecting a return to normal. But it has yet to be seen if those changes represent a return to normal (an era of changes) or if they mean getting past normal (change of era).

First of all, it’s increasingly more difficult for strategic planning to lead to the attainment of military capabilities.

That planning used to be based on a political definition of the Government’s political-strategic objectives (National Security Strategy) for developing a ministerial policy (National Defence Directive) and driving the attainment of the necessary technical-industrial capabilities (Military Capabilities Objective). The preceding rationality breaks down when political guidelines are not updated, because then capabilities determine the planning, and not the other way round, or when the execution of strategic planning is altered according to the economic juncture in the short term. In addition to the domestic neglect in planning, we would have to add that, from now on, collective decisions made in Europe will increasingly have more weight for reasons of strategic, industrial, technological and financial interest: Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD), Capability Development Plan (CDP) and Permanent Structured Cooperation, (PESCO). As a result, planning will no longer be exclusively national because it will have to include both national and European priorities, and not only in defence, because its industrial, technological and financial content affects many ministries.

Second, the defence industry is losing the effect it had in the past as a driving force in the economy as a whole.

SPANISH PRESENCE AT AN INTERNATIONAL

DEFENCE FAIR


The trends of change show a reduction in the number of enterprises that are engaged exclusively or mainly in defence and an increase in resorting to commercial purchasing to meet military needs. National defence firms were justified in previous eras because of the need to preserve technological advantages over rivals, but those advantages tend to disappear in the currently high pace of technological acceleration. Consequently, one must choose between venturing on a change of era (disruptive technologies and equipment associated with automation, robotisation, artificial intelligence, digitisation, space or cyber defence) or an era of changes (lengthening and modernising the life time of systems designed in other eras).

Technological and industrial disruption is already forcing a change in how acquisitions are managed. Before, the defence industry led the technological revolution; now, military leaders are going to the Silicon Valleys of the world to accelerate the civil technology transfer, and they are making the effort to assimilate new business management procedures. Likewise, the industrial sector already knows that its future is becoming one of greater competitiveness and productivity, which can only be assured through greater technological and innovative

effort. But given that defence resources for R&D&i are limited, we could ask ourselves if it wouldn’t be better to integrate those resources with those that are available for security or for industry in general. In this regard, dual technologies, including those financed by the EU and charged to the European Horizon programme, could mark a change of era, thereby providing critical technologies that are applicable to future security and defence needs.

Third, industry in general (including its security and defence sectors) is facing the existential challenge represented by the fourth industrial revolution, which in Spain hasn’t received an adequate response. There is still no strategic vision of the economic and social challenge

represented by that revolution, either through policies or the funds to develop them. Contrary to the long-term and consensual strategic programming developed by other, neighbouring countries, the industrial sector continues to wait for the arrival of cross-party, inter-generational government leadership that fails to appear.

An industrial policy endowed with leadership and investment could lead the national economy to another era, while policies led from the defence sector will only be able to accumulate changes from the same era. Government leadership is necessary to strategically orient the participation of Spanish industries in national, bilateral, European and global supply chains. Investment

is necessary to co-finance Spanish participation in international cooperation programmes and to assure the percentage of technological, industrial and economic returns on those investments. The industrial policy of defence, regardless of the changes that it may make, continues to be stymied by political and social prejudices regarding military spending, and it will continue this way until it gets beyond the ministerial scope of Defence and becomes integrated within the scope of Government leadership and investment.

Whether an era of changes or a change of era, the Spanish industrial sector of defence is increasingly more dependent on the international market. Domestic demand is shrinking, technological sovereignty is non-viable, national preference is increasingly less important and dependence on the international context represents a challenge for the survival of the business model of many industries and for assuring the supply of critical strategic capabilities. Government and business decisions that are made now can assure the greatest possible presence of Spanish industries within the process of Europanisation/industrial concentration taking place in the new international market, or conversely, they can try to mitigate the consequences of interdependence. Government and business leaders must decide if they want to keep the defence industry in an era of changes or lead it towards a change of era.

BACKED BY EUROPE

Spanish companies such as Indra, GMV and Seadrone are already participating in new programmes that are being started up after the EU’s turnabout towards consolidating the Defence Policy as from 2016, which in the upcoming years will be allocated with billions in investments.

he President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, threw the first stone in his 2016 State of the European Union address: “Europe can no longer afford to piggy back on the military might of others or let France alone defend its honour in Mali”. In that speech, Juncker warned that the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) was no longer a sufficient mechanism and that there was an urgent need to “take responsibility for protecting our interests and the European way of life”. At that moment, a key foundation was laid for starting up the new Europe of Defence, with a project that had real expectations and, above all, the funds (and not just words) with which to assume its commitments.

A few months later, in November of 2016, the European Commission launched the so-called European Defence Action Plan (EDAP), within which the creation of a European Defence Fund (EDF) was established. Before the EDF is implemented as such –the fund is expected to be allocated with 13 billion euros for the 2021-2027 period– two prior initiatives were chosen to pave the way, thus avoiding any further wait and before undertaking the core of the plan. On the one hand, the so-called Preparatory Action for Defence Research (PADR) was

started up. The Commission was resolved to allocate 90 million euros to the PADR for the period that included 2017 (25 million euros for that year), 2018 (allocated with 40 million) and 2019 (25 million). Moreover, the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) was designed, which is expected to be funded with another 500 million euros. For this programme, a three-year period was established, running from 2019 to 2021.

The PADR, with its allocation, begins the so-called “research window” of the future European Defence Fund. The EDIDP is, on its part, in charge of the “capability window”, which began in July 2018.

The specific projects for which the EDIDP’s investments will be earmarked are still being set up. Conversely, the PADR already has programmes established and companies designated to carry them out. Among them, there are three in which half a dozen Spanish organizations are already participating directly. These projects are Ocean 2020, in which unmanned naval systems are being researched; GOSSRA, which stands for Generic Open Soldier Systems Reference Architecture;

and Vestlife, which focuses its work on developing protective military clothing.

Ocean 2020, whose acronym stands for Open Cooperation for European mAritime awareNess, is formed by 40 participating entities from 15 countries, including the Spanish companies Indra, GMV and Seadrone. Its objective is the development of maritime surveillance technologies through the use of unmanned systems. Indra Sistemas’ role includes testing of its unmanned helicopter Pelícano, while GMV Aerospace and Defence is contributing command and control and intelligence solutions. In addition to the SME Seadrone, the Spanish Ministry of Defence is also working on this three-year research programme, allocated with nearly 35.5 million euros in an EU grant. The project was signed on 28 March 2018.

The name of the GOSSRA programme stands for Generic Open Soldier Systems Reference Architecture. This project, led by the German company Rheinmetall Electronics, includes the Spanish companies GMV Aerospace and Defence and Indra Sistemas among

the eight participants from six countries. This initiative, signed on 27 April 2018, is allocated with nearly 1.5 million euros coming from the EU, and it will last 22 months.

The last of the PADR programmes on which Spain is participating is called Vestlife. It is a 36-month long project that began on 1 May 2018 with the objective of improving personal protective material through the use of lighter, more flexible elements, including a greater area of coverage. This initiative, which is allocated with somewhat

Once the execution of both the PADR and the EDIDP has ended, then the EDF will start up as from 2021. As from that moment, enterprises will have many more opportunities, given that the planned allocations will have grown considerably. Of the 13 billion euros that the

EDF will have initially budgeted, 4.1 billion will be used in research tasks, and the remaining majority of budget items (totalling 8.9 billion) will be used in development activities.

As it was explained by the Director General of Military Equipment and Materials, Admiral Santiago Ramón González, the EDF will have a voluntary financial toolbox available to Member States for facilitating or structuring projects for the joint acquisition of defence capabilities and technologies. “This formula, which seeks to foster collaborative research and development projects in which at least three Member States participate”, adds

the Chief of the Defence Staff (JEMAD), Army General Fernando Alejandre Martínez, “will lead to the necessary cooperation for covering military needs and coordinating the strategies of all countries in order to create joint programmes”.

For now, the PADR and the EDIDP, which are already under way, represent an appetiser of the opportunities yet to come for the national defence industry in collaboration with other European countries. The path of the new European cooperation policy on military affairs is also setting the future path of the Spanish sector.

A TANGIBLE STEP OF INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION

The first 34 projects of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) in defence of the EU have begun. Spain’s presence on 18 of these initiatives, which includes leading one of them, makes it the third-leading country with the most participation, after Italy and France.

he determination to finally achieve a true Europe of Defence, with coordinated projects and common initiatives, has taken its latest tangible step for industrial collaboration with the launch of the first 34 projects of the so-called Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO). Spain is participating on the majority of these programmes (total of 18), which were implemented throughout 2018 in two batches of 17 projects each. One in March and another in November.

PESCO represents a voluntary commitment towards greater integration and the strengthening of defence cooperation within the framework of the European Union. It is a formula that was already included in the Treaty of Lisbon, in 2007. Yet it had never been activated until, in June 2016, the so-called Global Security Strategy (EUGS) was implemented, thereby finally planting the seed of the initiative. Some of the activities being undertaken based on the EUGS to finally turn the old continent’s alliance of countries into a relevant global player, with an adequate strategy, suitable capabilities and the right political will to secure its own defence, include the establishment of a European Defence Fund, which will enter into

force in 2021 but is preceded by two complementary pillars called the PADR (Preparatory Action for Defence Research) and the EDIDP (European Defence Industrial Development Programme), in addition to PESCO, established in December 2017.

PESCO includes the adhesion of 25 Member States, meaning all states except for the United Kingdom (in the process of leaving the EU), Denmark and Malta. As it is explained by Lieutenant General Juan Montenegro Álvarez de Tejera, Spain’s Military Representative to the EU Military Committee, the countries involved are bound, among other things, to “an increase in defence spending, the harmonisation of requirements, improved availability, the deployment capability and interoperability of forces and carrying out specific collaborative projects based on voluntary participation”.

Spain heads one of the 34 projects under way. Specifically, the project that it heads is responsible for designing an operations command and control system of the European Union, in which France, Germany, Italy and Portugal are also involved. The other 17 projects

on which our country is participating are divided among seven areas: training facilities; ground systems and groupings; naval; air systems; cyberspace and C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance); joint enabling and space.

In the first section, Spain is participating on two projects. The first one contemplates the so-called Training Mission Competence Centre of the European Union (EU TMCC), accompanied by Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, France, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Romania and Sweden. The second one deals with the Military Systems Test and Evaluation (T&E) Centre of the EU. France, Sweden and Slovakia also form a part of this project.

In the ground systems area, Spain is participating on a Deployable Military Disaster Relief Capability Package, together with Italy, Greece, Croatia and Austria, and on the Integrated Unmanned Ground System (UGS) that it is developing together with Estonia, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Latvia, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland and Finland.

The next project is focused on improving maritime surveillance, and it includes the participation of Greece, Bulgaria, Ireland, Croatia, Italy and Cyprus. The air part includes the project European Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System, known as Euromale or Eurodrone, on which Spain is sharing the work together with Germany, Czech Republic, France and Italy.

In cyberspace and C4ISR, we would highlight the aforementioned Spanish leadership on the project Strategic Command and Control System for CSDP Missions and Operations (CSDP stands for Common

Another three initiatives that include Spanish participation are the following: The European Secure SOftware defined Radio (ESSOR) project, together with France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Finland; another one in charge of Rapid response teams to cyber attacks and mutual assistance on cybersecurity, together with Lithuania, Estonia, France, Croatia, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Finland as the other partners; and a platform for information sharing on cyber threats, which is also being worked on by Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary, Austria and Portugal.

Of the seven PESCO projects framed within the joint enabling section, Spain is participating on five. The so-called European Medical Command also groups together Germany, Czech Republic, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden. Another one consists in the establishment of a network of logistics and operations support centres, together with Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia. The third deals with military mobility, and it is the one with the most participating countries. In addition to Spain, it includes The Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Estonia, Greece, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden. Other project, which deals with improving energy efficiency, also includes the participation of France, Belgium and Italy. And the last one with Spain among its ranks in this section is a project that focuses on improving the exchange of bases and support points operated by members, both on European soil and abroad. Here we must also list France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany and The Netherlands.

Finally, Spain has joined France, Belgium, Germany and Italy on a project to provide Radio navigation solutions, known by its acronym, EURAS.

All these programmes constitute the beginning of Spanish participation in PESCO, in which only Italy and France have more commitments (participation on 21 and 20 initiatives, respectively). This spring, Member States will once again be asked to submit new projects that can be included in PESCO. Around that same time, Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, will present her report on development of the initiative to date. The lessons learned will be published at the same time so that Permanent Structured Cooperation can continue to be improved.

THE INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY OF THE ATLANTIC ALLIANCE

During the first nine months of 2018, the NATO Support and Procurement Agency awarded approximately three hundred contracts, each amounting to 80,000 euros or more. Of those contracts, 36 were signed with 19 Spanish companies for a total amount of nearly 75 million euros.

he Atlantic Alliance alone comprises a market that moves around 3 billion euros annually, with 650 million corresponding to the needs of the organization itself and the remainder corresponding to its partner countries, normally grouped by specific interests. NATO channels acquisitions of all kinds (military and civil) through multiple bodies, financing sources and procedures. There is no centralised, single body for purchasing or procedures subject to domestic or international legislation. NATO is governed by its Treaty and monitors itself.

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) and the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) are the main buyers in NATO. Between the two of them, they exceed 80% of all procurement, as IDS included in its issue of the eDossier editorial line published in 2018 under the eloquent title, “Keys to moving in the NATO market”.

The NCIA, based in Brussels and The Hague, specialises in C4ISR systems (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems), and its main acquisitions are mainly made

through capability packages. The NSPA, based in Luxembourg, is in charge of acquisitions for commands, agencies, programme offices and nations in a multitude of services and facilities for deployments and the operation and maintenance of equipment and systems. In 2016, the NCIA contracted approximately 250 million euros, and the NSPA exceeded 4 billion. The NCIA did not award any contract with a value of equal to or greater than 100,000 euros to any Spanish company. However, the NSPA did do so.

According to the NSPA’s databases, of the more than three hundred contracts with amounts of 80,000 euros or more awarded by the NSPA during the first nine months of 2018, thirty-six were awarded to 19 Spanish companies. The total awarded amount of those 36 contracts was 74.7 million euros, which is 7.8% more than the amount of the 46 contracts awarded to Spanish companies recorded for all of 2017. The largest of these purchases is the procurement of 139 VTLV vehicles for Portugal’s Army, within the framework of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, for a total of 60 million euros. The next four largest contracts were

won by Expal Systems for the supply of ammunition. These contracts exceeded one million euros in all cases, although none reached two million. The preceding year, Airbus Helicopters España was the one to walk away with the main agreement reached with a Spanish firm, thanks to the sale of two AS332C1E Super Puma helicopters for the total amount of 30 million euros. Second place that year was also held by Expal Systems, resulting from the award of nearly 13.2 million euros for the “corrective maintenance of military equipment”.

The majority of the awards corresponding to the first three quarters of 2018 (information on the last quarter of the year was not available at the close of this publication) are framed within the ground vehicles segment. A total of 11 contracts have been awarded to eight companies (URO Vehículos Especiales, Suyfa Defence, SDLE, Cohemo, Grupo JPG, Ibatech Tecnología, Integración Tecnología Empresarial and Star Defence Logistics) for a total amount of over 62.4 million euros, the majority of which (60 million) is for the aforementioned sale of URO vehicles to Portugal. Another 13 awarded contracts were distributed among five Spanish munitions and missile

companies (Expal Systems, MBDA España, General Dynamics European Land Systems, Adaptive Systems and Tecnesis 3000) for a total of nearly 9.4 million euros.

In the aircraft branch, Airbus Helicopters España and Europavia España were each awarded with a contract, respectively amounting to over 543,000 euros and nearly 238,000 euros. The Spanish naval sector won three contracts from NATO, awarded to the companies Suyfa Defence, Navantia and Gauzón Ibérica for a total amount of nearly half a million euros. All the other awards (a total of four) can be grouped together into a mixed bag that we could call complementary supplies,

the desire to develop the market and make themselves known and, above all, who feel like jumping in, who are excited and who are persistent, have the keys to success in NATO. Looked at another way: these companies operate in the Atlantic Alliance just like in any other market.

Francisco González Mené, the Spanish representative to the NATO Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG), elaborates on the fact that the approach to this military organisation for any company that would like to explore new opportunities is not very different from the approach to a new market in any area. “You have to understand

the customer and their needs and expectations; you have to know the language and the liaisons; know the procedures and understand the rites and ceremonies of the culture; you have to make yourself known”. There is only one effective path to learning what is necessary, he adds, and that is to jump right in. The path begins with the specifiers, with the bodies that know and define the needs or have an influence on decision-making, although they aren’t necessarily the same ones that purchase. In the end, it’s a matter of understanding the process. In view of the results, at least some 20-odd Spanish companies have understood how to do it and have managed to win awards from the Atlantic Organisation in 2018.

TWELVE EXAMPLES OF IMPLEMENTATION IN EUROPE

Spain is involved in a number of European Defence industrial development programmes, both major ones and minor ones, and it is also a direct supplier to various Armed Forces of the old continent. A few examples of these programmes are included here.

ehind the European military projects being undertaken under the umbrella of initiatives such as the Preparatory Action for Defence Research (PADR) and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), awarded by NATO, or through various industrial commitments, there are thousands of companies working and providing services for a continental sector that is increasingly interlinked. The following are twelve examples of as many Spanish companies that already form a part of that industrial base for defence that is being consolidated on the old continent.

Arpa EMC In 2018, the mobile field equipment company, ARPA EMC, designed and manufactured container solutions

for the Armed Forces of Lithuania under a contract awarded in 2017 by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) for an amount exceeding 3.4 million euros. This package of solutions is formed by kitchens, showers, toilets, washbasins, laundries and waste water treatment containers for an encampment of one thousand people.

In September 2018, several specialists from ARPA EMC travelled to Lithuania to conduct the final testing and provide training for approximately thirty soldiers. Technicians, cooks, electricians and plumbers were instructed on unpacking, assembly, start-up, maintenance, disassembly and packing of the equipment.

ATL EuropaThe Madrid-based company ATL Europa, an engineering firm that specialises on radio frequency and microwave systems, is participating on innovative defence projects with different implications in other projects of the old continent, notably including the development of Counter Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (C-RPAS) through RF (radio frequency) inhibition. The increase in threats by drone attacks has driven this company to develop various solutions to neutralise such devices. These developments range from portable systems that provide security for convoys during missions to personal RF attack equipment, which includes a self-powered backpack and an RF rifle. ATL Europa also offers more powerful solutions for protecting large surface areas, military encampments and security zones.

Expal SystemsEXPAL Systems, a firm that develops ammunition and defence systems (among others), is collaborating with the main European manufacturers in the sector, including large groups such as BAE Systems and Airbus, to integrate their products and develop new technologies that can be used to defend Europe’s strategic interests. The Spanish company was recently selected by Switzerland to outfit its army with new 81-mm mortars. The company’s mortar and ammunition systems are already in service in approximately ten European countries. The company has the necessary experience to successfully carry out complex European projects, as it already demonstrated with the European Union

in Belarus during the demilitarisation of that country’s arsenal of millions of anti-personnel mines, a job that ended in 2017.

Also within the European context, the company is participating on task forces of PESCO projects, coordinated through the European Defence Agency (EDA), to begin forming, as from 2019, European consortiums financed through the European Defence Fund (EDF). It also participates on the NIAGs (NATO Industrial Advisory Groups) that work on its main product lines. In the industrial area, it forms a part of the AeroSpace and Defence Association of Europe (ASD), where it is an active member of the European Land Defence Industry Group (ELDIG), which it chaired in 2013, and it is also a member of expert vertical organisations, such as the Insensitive Munitions European Manufacturers Group (IMEMG).

position from where the exercise is managed and supervised. Various failures can also be introduced from that position to test and train on emergency procedures during operation. The system allows the simultaneous and coordinated immersion of up to ten paratroopers.

Santa Bárbara SistemasIn July 2000, the British Ministry of Defence awarded a contract for upgrading the tracked armoured vehicles in its mechanised units. The award was given to a development based on the Pizarro vehicle of the Spanish company, Santa Bárbara Sistemas (SBS), which forms a part of the General Dynamics Group. The programme, officially called Ajax, is one of the most ambitious and comprehensive projects recently initiated in Europe. It means that the Ascod (the Pizarro’s international name) will be the armoured platform at the heart of the British mechanised brigades of the 21st century. The contract is divided into several parts. The first, called Demo, involves the design of six variants, including the Ares (personnel transport and reconnaissance), the Ajax (observer), the Atlas (recovery), the Apollo (repair), the Argus (sappers) and the Athena (command and control). It furthermore includes the production of a mobility demonstrator and six prototypes of different variants, plus the corresponding testing of resistance and maximum anti-mine protection.

FCC IndustrialOne of the solutions offered by FCC Industrial to the European market is the MDS mission supervision and analysis system, according to its craftsmen an “integrated, profitable and scalable” solution that provides the capability of real-time monitoring of mission development in an unlimited variety of scenarios and for an unlimited number of active participants. MDS is operated in the Tactical Leadership Programme (TLP), also known as the NATO Pilot School, located at the Los Llanos Air Base in Albacete.

As a supplier of the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA), FCC Industrial has supplied a set of operational planning tools that cover (among other things) systems analysis, operations planning, operations assessment, the generation of ORBAT and forces and activation tools.

One of the company’s other notable solutions is the Parasim parachute simulator, which allows paratroopers to submerge themselves in a 3D virtual reality experience. Each training position is equipped with VR headphones and a parachute with sensored controls: risers and rings that capture the soldier’s actions and take into account the characteristics of the paratrooper and of the parachute, in addition to the weather conditions at the time of immersion. The system includes an instructor

(GD UK), were in charge of design and development, although the turret was awarded to another company. The manufacture of 589 vehicles was ordered in 2014. All the hulls and running gear will be manufactured in Spain, in this case at the Trubia Factory in Asturias, and the first one hundred units will be assembled at SBS’s plant in Seville. The remainder will be carried out at facilities of GD UK, after an industrial programme. The first vehicles were delivered to the customer in September 2017 for the corresponding acceptance testing, and all the variants are already being manufactured.

GMVGMV, a defence and security systems engineering, design, development, integration and maintenance company, has amassed a long history of cooperation with international agencies through contracts won in open competition.

GMV is, together with another Spanish company, Indra Sistemas, one of the few European companies that are participating on two of the projects (Ocean 2020 and GOSSRA) selected within the framework of the Preparatory Action for Defence Research (PADR).In 2010, GMV became the main contractor for the design,

development, maintenance, deployment and evolution of the European Border Surveillance system (EUROSUR) for the agency Frontex. It is also the main contractor for development and evolution of the European Command and Control Information System (EUCCIS) for the European External Action Service (EEAS).

The company likewise has notable presence in the European Commission’s framework research programmes on security, mainly H2020 and its predecessor, FP7. Moreover, GMV works with various agencies, such as with the European Maritime Safety Agency on activities related to remotely piloted aircraft systems in the maritime environment, in addition to providing information and communication technologies services; with the European Union Satellite Centre (Satcen) in the areas of remote detection and satellite image processing; and with various organisations of NATO and with the ministries of defence of countries of the Alliance on both sides of the Atlantic in the area of Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JISR).

evolution of the market and society”. Within this context, they add, “new technologies and globalisation mean that increasingly more consortiums are formed to take on large projects that involve several countries”. According to this premise, and within the scope of European Defence, at Integra Internacional “we are highly attentive to the evolution of PESCO in order to continue developing our business in this sector, and we will be present not only at the upcoming EU and NATO National Defence Industry Conferences, which will be held at the end of January, but also at FEINDEF (International Defence Exhibition), which will be held next May in Madrid”.

ITP AeroITP Aero, which is participating on various research and innovation projects for the development of new solutions and strategic advances in the aviation industry, is integrated in large European collaboration initiatives, such as the projects developed through Horizon 2020, the European Union’s largest research and innovation framework programme. Under this umbrella, various initiatives “in which ITP Aero plays a fundamental role” are being developed, the company explains. Among others, it points out the programme for the development of environmentally cleaner aviation, Clean Sky2, in which ITP Aero is a principal partner for developing and manufacturing the intermediate pressure turbine and the rear structure of the Rolls-Royce UltraFan engine.

in addition to NBC equipment for first-intervention units and training for the European Union Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence Initiative (EU CBRN CoE).

Ibatech has developed R&D&i programmes and has been a consultant in various areas of the EDA, for the Horizon 2020 programme, for the Ministry of Defence and for EU CBRN Centres of Excellence, thereby qualifying it to take on high-tech projects in the fields of CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) detection, sampling, monitoring, identification and decontamination. Examples of programmes in which Ibatech is involved include SOBID (Stand-Off Bio Detection) and Quixote (cold-plasma decontamination) for the EDA, in addition to Roscafe (Remotely Operated CBRNe Scene Assessment & Forensic Examination using drones and robots) for the CBRN CoEs in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

SenerSener is participating on the main European missile programmes as a centre of excellence in the design, development, production, integration, testing of and logistics support for actuation and control systems. Examples of programmes include the Meteor programme, in which Sener is responsible for the design and supply of the control subsystem, FAS (Fin Actuation Subsystem); the RBS 70 NG programme, in which it is the supplier of the stabilised mirror of the firing post; the Iris-T AA and the Iris-T SL, for which it supplies the control sections; the Taurus KEPD350, for which, in addition to manufacturing the units of the FAS fins control subsystem, Sener has provided support for integration on the EF-18 aircraft; and the NSM, on which it also participates as a supplier of the actuation and control system. Its main customers are the European companies MBDA, DBD and Saab.

Thales EspañaThe Swiss Army’s Command and Control System has benefited directly from the experience that Thales has acquired in Spain since 1999 on various national projects, such as Simacet (Army Command and Control System) or the Lince project, for the Leopard tank. The Battlefield Management System (BMS) of the Army is a software system for the Spanish army that is being deployed on international missions such as those in Latvia, Mali and,

recently, in Lebanon. Thales also has the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP) gateway, whereby it coordinates the exchange of data between the armies of the various countries involved. It is a field-tested solution that has already been implemented and is operating in the armies of Spain, France and Switzerland and in NATO. One of the other great European challenges is the European Programme for a Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (MALE RPAS), for which the companies involved must ensure that the future unmanned system includes all the necessary ISTAR elements (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance).

Virtual3DGunVirtual3DGun was created for the purpose of outfitting units with the latest available virtual reality technology applied to soldiers, with the development of a Simulator for Infantry Virtual Training (SEV-I), thereby providing first-person simulation tools with a high degree of immersion and realism. Using these resources, it seeks to complement real training, both for national customers and for Europe in general, and to facilitate the individual, joint and coordinated training of a team in order to support real training. These solutions represent “a cost savings for customers and an increase in training hours by personnel, thereby contributing to better preparation”.

SBS’s product knowledge and specialisation, combined with its experience in Systems Engineering and in Design and Development Engineering, allow it to continuously evolve its products, including project management, systems integration, mobility, protection, electronic architecture, growth capacity and integrated logistics support (ILS).

SBS’s experience allows it to design and certify each and every one of the hulls of the ASCOD AJAX variants exported to the United Kingdom and enabled it to work on new variants of the ASCOD Pizarro II, as well as the VCZAP (sappers) engineering vehicle.

At the same time, it is conducting R&D under a contract with the Spanish Ministry of Defence for the new wheeled combat vehicle. As a part of the UTE (Temporary Joint Venture) that was formed for this project, SBS is currently executing the VCR 8x8 Technology Projects, in which its PIRANHA 5 vehicle is the platform being used for integrating and demonstrating the Programme’s systems and technologies.

This platform was chosen as the infantry armoured vehicle for integrating technology projects, and since then Santa Bárbara Sistemas has been adapting the vehicle to unite all Spanish technology: power pack or mission systems. In addition, it is developing high-performance protection systems and evaluating the 30-mm and 12.7-mm weapons systems. Its factories are working on five demonstrators with different configurations for the upcoming evaluation by the Spanish Armed Forces.

Santa Bárbara Sistemas has extensive resources (fixed, mobile, software) and experience in not only maintenance but also support for maintenance and all systems, which it performs at its own facilities (5th echelon) and at customer bases and in theatres of operations.

Support solutions and models are adapted and designed according to a customer’s specific needs. Santa Bárbara Sistemas accompanies customers in deployments to theatres of operations. In Afghanistan, and now in Mali, for example, SBS is the company that provides maintenance support for RG-31s.

One of essential areas of knowledge and value offered by the company to customers is the ability to perform upgrades on either its own systems or other platforms that are in service. In this regard, it has the structure and experience to maintain or increase the capabilities of land systems, therefore updating them to take on the challenges of current missions. Santa Bárbara Sistemas offers upgrading kits for the first Pizarro and Ulan series.

Interoperability and synergy with the inventories of allied countries

Most of the platforms and weapons systems in which Santa Bárbara Sistemas is involved already form a part of the capabilities of allied Armed Forces, thereby assuring quick interoperability and achieving logistics synergies of great interest by sharing the availability of spare parts and resources in theatres of operation.

Santa Bárbara Sistemas has led the main programmes of the Spanish Army, and it has extensive international experience.

NAVANTIA S.A

The Spanish shipbuilder Navantia is already a world reference in the design, construction and integration of state-of-the-art warships, as well as ship repairs & modernizations. Moreover, it is also engaged in the design and manufacture of

Combat Management Systems, Gun Fire Control Systems, Integrated Communications Systems, Propulsion and Power Generation Plants, Integrated Platform Management Systems, and Through Life Support for all its products, which provides an important added value to the customer.

Over the last years, Navantia has fostered its internationalisation in significant ways, developing industrial strategic alliances and cooperation agreements with the aim to achieve new opportunities in the world market and to consolidate the company at certain foreign locations.


Fully aware of the recently increasing importance and significance of matters regarding Defence and Security in the European Union, Navantia´s internationalization objectives are focuced to a large extent, on the opportunities provided by Europe.

Even though Navantia has no Brussels delegation yet, it actively participates in the European Union organisms and bodies via the two sectorial associations directly related to our shipbuilding activities. On one hand, SEA EUROPE, an association devoted to civilian shipbuilding affairs. On the other hand, ASD (Aerospace, Defence and Security European Association) for security and defence issues. It is double qualified as associate and corporate members in both associations and attends the commissions and committees on a permanent basis.

Moreover, Navantia frequently attends those European Union naval and/or defence and security forums in which industry is invited, whether hosted by EDA (European Defence Agency) or by NATO.

The aim is triple. Allege the official Spanish position, both corporate and national, unite the other similar national positions in a strongest single voice and take advantage of the multiple and very important cooperation and financing sources recently offered by the European Union.

No doubt that EDAP (European Defence Action Plan) frame and PESCO (Permanent Structured Policy) conform the central tools for the European opportunity. Not only because of the variety of

Navantia, making Europe

financing tools, but for there really is a unique chance to put in place strong strategic alliances and agreements among European industry partners. Now and in the near and far future. Both research and capability windows are unparalleled tools for the development and reinforcement of an efficient security and defence European Union policy.

The moment is currently facing a double critical stage:

• Regarding research, on one side, through identification and prioritisation of those technologies that will be decisive in order to guarantee the European autonomy and the future leadership of the defence European industry.

• Regarding capability development, on the other side, where the stage of identification and prioritisation of critical capabilities to be developed must be achieved. Also, the technological challenges and the efficient way ahead for our European defence to actually fulfil those capabilities.

Navantia very actively takes part in that double critical stage, representing our national and European sector through forums, commissions and committees with the aim of the triple mission: assertion of united positions, attainment of financing benefits and promotion of European synergies in the research and development sector. As we are deeply convinced that all of the above efforts shall result in a better and stronger European defence industry capable of ensuring the capacity and reliability of our Armed Forces.

THALES

Thales is a leading technology company, operating in the Defence, Aeronautics, Space, Security and Transportation markets.

The company provides the different Armed Forces with a complete range of completely integrated equipment, systems and services for land, sea and air, in order to meet with new inter-operational demands and C4ISTAR capabilities (command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance).

Thales España works closely with the Armed Forces to provide technology for communications, optronics, surveillance radars, air navigation aids, sonar minehunters, solutions for unmanned air vehicles, the detection and neutralisation of drones, as well as land systems, among others. Furthermore, support is provided for the maintenance of the most modern airplane and helicopter systems.

Thales España has ISR (identification, surveillance and reconnaissance) capabilities, thanks to the range of sensors at its disposal, which are designed to undertake a wide range of missions such as marine search and rescue, border and illegal trafficking surveillance, support for sea and land troops, and intelligence missions.

Digital Transformation in the defence sector

Digital technologies are a powerful lever for Thales teams not only to invent and develop new products and solutions for today, but also to prepare for a future driven by data, autonomous systems and immersive technology. This is the crux of the Thales value proposition: taking customers above and beyond what is currently possible at the same time as solving some of today’s most burning issues. In the defence sector, all the different platforms — aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, satellites, naval vessels and land-based assets — are now interconnected and equipped with multiple sensors gathering huge volumes of information. To achieve better tactical situational awareness and react more quickly, platforms in the coming years will work increasingly collaboratively. With large-scale platform interconnection, units can be coordinated more effectively and decisions can be made either locally or from command and control centres. Systems are evolving to support enhanced connectivity and provide greater autonomy and more intelligent decision support.
