The latest issue of European Defence Matters, the official magazine of the European Defence Agency (EDA), is now available.
In its 10th edition, the magazine analyses the tremendous change the defence sector is currently facing in the way innovation and R&T related to future military capabilities are driven and implemented. European Defence Matters asked EDA subject matter experts, industry representatives and academics how changing innovation patterns might impact on European strategic autonomy, and what the prospects for Europe preserving its autonomy in critical R&T are. It furthermore looks at how the European defence industry deals with the challenge of strategic innovation, identifies some of the most critical new emerging technologies and gives an update on the setting up of the Preparatory Action on defence research.
The magazine also includes an interview with Dutch Defence Minister Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, presents Michel Barnier’s views on the upcoming European Commission Defence Action Plan and highlights the latest achievements in an EDA project aimed at enhancing Member States’ Personnel Recovery capabilities.
