Capabilities Directorate

 

Within the EDA, the Capabilities Directorate works on issues related to the development of defence capabilities, in particular on harmonising military requirements. Activities are related to different elements of capabilities, from training to concepts and equipment. Capabilities’ work is subdivided in six capability areas, grouped in three capability management areas: Knowledge (Command and Information); Engagement (Engage and Protection) and Manoeuvre (Deploy and Sustain).

"EDA has proven to be a very effective and results-oriented Agency. I will continue to press for concrete output in order to further improve Europe’s defence capabilities". Catherine Ashton, Head of EDA, January 2010.
