EDA proposes wider-sharing of SATCOM assets
PARIS, June 21 () -- The European Defense Agency is proposing that European countries pool their satellite communications capabilities.The proposal was put forward at a high-level seminar -- "Secure Telecom by Satellite" -- at the Paris Air show."Currently,[url=http://www.leedpe.com/]christian louboutin sale[/url], five European nations operate military satellite communication assets: the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and Germany," the agency said. "In the timeframe 2018-2025,[url=http://www.myeduhelp.com/]christian louboutin outlet[/url], all these assets will need to be replaced."This creates a unique opportunity for pooling and sharing these types of satellites ... for a European-wide use of governmental SATCOM."EDA said its proposal takes current pooling and sharing of military satellite communications capabilities one step forward in suggesting a cross-use of future governmental assets on a broader basis. Future assets could be shared by leasing to other member states parts of government satellite communications for defense and security services,[url=http://www.govtvault.com/]cheap gucci belt[/url], it said, and future assets could also be shared by offering a new capability package with European Union funding for internal and external connectivity needs."With its European Satellite Communication Procurement Cell, the European Defense Agency has already delivered a concrete pooling and sharing tool in the area of commercial satellite communications," said Claude-France Arnould, chief executive of the European Defense Agency."Our proposal for governmental SATCOM goes one step further. Pooling and sharing of critical assets is an opportunity as much as a necessity in times of tight defense budgets and eroding capabilities."
