  1. Network Enabled Capability In support of the EU Common Security and Defence Policy 28 Oct 2011

  2. Agenda • European Defence Agency - overview • The NEC Implementation Study • Network Enabled Capability – status and where we go • EDA and Industry. NCOIC • Conclusions

  3. European Defence Agency - Overview EDA’s function is to support Member States’ efforts to improve European defence capabilities. • Unique structure within EU • Flexible and compact

  4. European Defence Agency - Overview • Full capability spectrum • Defence and other EU policies • EDA and partners

  5. European Defence Agency - Challenges • We face three key ones: • (i) The current climate of austerity which has led to dramatic cuts in European defence budgets; • (ii) The lessons from the Libya operation; • (iii) Political Will.

  6. EDA Answers Challenges • By preparing the future together • By promoting more cooperation • By pooling and sharing critical capabilities in Europe • By ensuring complementarity of work with NATO through transparency and dialogue • By connecting civilian and military spheres to foster synergies • By strengthening the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base

  7. The Steering Board Capabilities – March 2011 CDP Top 10 Priorities • Counter-IED • Medical support • ISR • Cyber Defence • Increased Availability Helicopters • Multinational Logistic Support • CSDP Information Exchange • Airlift Management • Fuel and Energy • Mobility Assurance Maturing / Mature Actions • MMCM • CBRN • C-ManPADS • HUMINT Core Drivers / Environment • Comprehensive Approach • NEC • Radio Spectrum Management • Space • Single European Sky

  8. NEC Concept definition* “The ability to shape a cohesive environment • for a comprehensive approach and • for a unified effort of civilian and military entities and actors at all levels in EU-led Crisis Management Operations and Missions, through informed and timely decision-making and coherent execution, based on • the seamless and efficient sharing and exploitation of information, • by competent personnel, properly tailored processes, • and developed networks” * Ref: Council Document 12737/08+Cor1, “EU Concept For NEC in support of ESDP”, noted by PSC on 16 June 2009

  9. NEC Dimensions • People • social aspects, governance/management, business processes, rules & legislation, policies, cultural change, awareness and training, human interface • Information • management, sharing and protection • Technology • capabilities, systems & sensors, networks and federation of networks, services, standards, research and technology, experimentation and testing, cooperation programmes

  10. The approach • By definition, NEC supports the EU’s comprehensive approach • It is a civil – military capability • It addresses the synergies between civil and military actors in CMOs • It has been designed from the start as civil – military: driver through all subsequent efforts • The capability approach: NEC is the environment • Developing it allows capabilities to become network enabled • It focuses on the human and the information dimensions, whereas… • … the technological factor has an enabler role

  11. From concept to vision - NEC Implementation Study National and EU developments NEC Implementation Study NEC Vision enabled by CEWA (comprehensive EU CSDP-wide architecture) NEC Roadmap (people, information, technology) NEC Concept

  12. NEC IS in a Nutshell Vision statements Capability areas description NEC Vision NEC (the environment) Command NEC Roadmap Inform Decisive Conditions (recommendations) Supporting Effects (ongoing/planned developments) Engage Protect Deploy Sustain

  13. Network Enabled Capability – Roadmap Tracking Tool

  15. How to shape the environment ? • Look at the EU environment as a whole • Concept, Vision, Roadmap, Way Ahead - 2009 - 2010 (concluded) • Program of Work on NEC - to be drafted, to be agreed by PSC • Civil military effort - permanent • Look at some of the environment components : capabilities and their “NE” attribute • How to assess (criteria / methodology) - 2011 • How to design (balance : IT state of the art, cost effectiveness, integration) - 2012 • How to implement in practice - 2011 - 2012 • How to test and validate - 2012 - 2014

  16. How to shape the environment ? Practical Example • Look at the EU environment as a whole • Concept, Vision, Roadmap, Way Ahead - 2009 - 2010 • Program of Work on NEC - agreed by PSC • Civil military effort - permanent • Look at some of the environment components : capabilities and their “NE” attribute • How to assess (criteria / methodology) - 2011 • How to design (balance : IT state of the art, cost effectiveness, integration) - 2012 • How to implement in practice - 2011 - 2012 • How to test and validate - 2012 - 2014

  18. EDA and industry

  19. EDA and NCOIC • EDA is working closely with industry • EDA is participating in the NCOIC activities • NEC IS by Euronec consortium (EADS DE, Indra ES, Thales FR, Selex SI IT, Saab SE, BAES UK) • composed of NCOIC members – specific inputs to the EU NEC Vision and Roadmap • EDA hosted a WS with NCOIC in Feb 2011 : • Understanding of NCOIC and its deliverables • Presentation of a Capability Pattern (AHAW) and a Technical one (DIL) • Discussion of a potential way ahead – under staffing with pMS

  20. Conclusions • EDA is ideally placed to support Member States individually and collectively to acquire more with less • Industry has a key role in this process • NEC in support of EU’s comprehensive approach – an EDA capability development priority • NCOIC could be a valuable discussion partner in the NEC development

  21. Thank you One person, one information profile, wherever connected.

  23. Why NEC* Approach for EU crisis management operations • more effective command and control • better information-sharing Concept for developing an EU-wide programme • to transform the way in which information is handled, managed and exchanged • building on on-going efforts in the Member States and EU institutions * Ref: Council Document 9453/1/09+Cor1, “Developing network-enabled capabilities (NEC) in support of ESDP”, agreed by PSC on 16 June 2009

  24. Expected benefits* • Optimised information management […] • Establishing, maintaining and sharing real-time situational awareness • Support for planning, decisions […] based on timely information to enable coherent action by all involved • The agile and efficient employment of civil and military capabilities, whether static or dispersed, and the achievement of synchronized operational effects in accordance with the leadership’s intent * Ref: Council Document 12737/08+Cor1, “EU Concept For NEC in support of ESDP”, noted by PSC on 16 June 2009

  25. NEC Vision “One person, one information profile, wherever connected” • Links together the three dimensions P,I,T • One person in real life and in networks (CoI concept) • The information profile gives rights to access information (services approach) • Wherever: fixed or portable device within a network (federation, evolutionary)
