EDAP and European Commission's actions in support of defence-

related SMEs, clusters and regions

Does not represent an official legal opinion of the European Commission

European Defence Action Plan

• Focus on defence capability needs and support to the European Defence Industry

• Three main pillars

Launching a European Defence Fund

Fostering investments in defence supply chains

Reinforcing the single market for defence

Fostering investments in defence supply chains

• Access to finance for SMEs and investments in the defence sector [COSME]

• Strengthen the support of EU funds to investment in defence [ESIF]

• Encourage the development of regional clusters of excellence

• Supporting skills in defence

Dual use products, services and technologies can address the needs of

both defence and civil communities

Dual use guide available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish –online & printed

http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/defence/industrial-policy/smes/index_en.htm

What is dual use?

• SMEs participating in defence markets today are (almost) exclusively involved in dual-use activities

• Armed Forces rely increasingly on development of civil industrial products and technologies

• Growing # of research & technologies for multiple applications: nano-electronics, unmanned systems, synthetic biology, big data, 3D printing, etc.

• In 2013 licensed exports of dual use products amounted to €48 billion. This represented 3.1% of total extra-EU exports.

Why dual use?

EUROPEAN STRUCTURAL & INVESTMENT FUNDS (ESIF)

• ESIF may be used in defence sector as long as they contribute to objectives of the fund

• ERDF may fund defence activities and dual-use activities in research and innovation, as part of a smart specialisation strategy

• Commission will promote funding opportunities through ESIF to the benefit of defence stakeholders & prepare a guidance paper

EDA support to Defence R+T+I

Innovation, the DNA of EDA: reinforcing the EDTIB

by Panagiotis KIKIRAS

www.eda.europa.eu49

Dimensions of innovationThere are several types of innovation

- Process, product/service, strategy,

which can vary in degree of newness:

- Incremental to radical,

and impact:

continuous to discontinuous

www.eda.europa.eu50

Conditions for succesfull InnovationSeveral trends align to change the conditions for successful

innovation

• Innovation increasingly relies on effective interaction between the

science base and the business sector.

• Networking and collaboration among firms are now more

important than in the past

• Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially new

technology-based firms, have a more important role in the

development and diffusion of new technologies

• The globalisation of economies is making countries’ innovation

systems more interdependent

www.eda.europa.eu51

Drivers for innovation (Schumpeter approach)- Financial pressures to reduce costs, increase efficiency, do more with

less, etc

- Increased competition

- Shorter product life cycles

- Value migration

- Stricter regulation

- Industry and community needs for sustainable development

- Increased demand for accountability

- Demographic, social and maket changes

- Rising customer expectations regarding service and quality

- Changing economy

- Greater availability of potentially useful technologies coupled with a need to exceed the competition in these technologies

Which are relevant to

Defence

environment?

www.eda.europa.eu52

Key Challenges 1/3• Defence R&T budgets are shrinking and thus

‒ Production of new collaborative projects is suffering

‒ Less projects are developed

‒ Minimum number of countries are participating in collaborative research

‒ Limited participation / interest of industry

RTO’s / SME’s whenever possible demonstrating interest (e.g Pilot Project – JIP

programs) but in general do not actively participating

Nevertheless the trend seems to be reverting

This year the number and volume of collaborative projects seems to be increasing

• Existing SRA’s are fragmented and coordinated capability driven research is limited/

missing

- OSRA will close this gap assuring the coordination and direct linkage with capabilities

- Nevertheless, it is still needed an “authoritative instrument” to validate OSRA

prioritization

www.eda.europa.eu53

Key Challenges 2/3• Technological innovation rapidly disrupts the military domain

- New non-traditional defence technology providers are emerging out of the traditional

supply chains.

• New emerging funding instruments are disrupting the traditional national – bilateral –

collaborative funding models.

- Need to add another dimension to prioritization – from capability /time to

capability/available funding instrument/time

Capability Development

Prioritization Model

www.eda.europa.eu54

Key Challenges 3/3• The cost of acquiring new technology is rising

- Need to rethink technology acquisition strategies

• Keep national critical components, seek collaboration for the rest

• Opportunity for innovative modular architectures

• Discrepancy between RT and acquisition, resource, and requirements communities in

terms of understanding of the technological advances

- Leads to the famous “valley of death”

- Not optimal planning / resource spending

- Funding Gap between R&T and Dev is a

“no-win”situation

Bridge the Valley

of Death

Capability

commissioning

www.eda.europa.eu55

Approaching Innovation in defence

• Should we look apart from R&T for?

- Innovations in military doctrine/operations

- Innovations in “military systems”

- Innovations in military logistics and support

- Innovations in military acquisition and systems design

- Importance of process and organisational change

• Pain points to be considered

- The effects of defence R&D investment – the relationship between defence and civilian innovation

- Procurement reform and defence R&D

- Defence research facilities and primes have a history of isolation

• Innovation requires extroversion by default. Can we learn from similar sectors e.g Energy?

- Dual use / spin in / …how do we move forward given the fact that defence industries might be

reluctant to embrace the concept?

- the development of Strategic Research Agendas (SRAs), and

- Overarching Strategic Research Agenda,

• Implement the architecture produced:

- Providing a harmonized view of the current Strategic Research

Agendas (SRAs),

- Developing the Overarching Strategic Research Agenda (OSRA)

EDA support to Defence Industry and RTOs

How to enhance EDA-industry engagementby Isabelle DESJEUX

www.eda.europa.eu79

Background• Evolving environment

- June 2016 European Union Global Strategy calls for a structured dialogue with

defence industry to ensure “a solid European defence, technological and

industrial base …”.

- November 2016 European Defence Action Plan “contributes to ensuring that

the European defence industrial base is able to meet Europe’s current and

future security needs and, …“

• Need for EDA to assess and rethink its interaction with industry.

• Process

- Internal assessment presented & discussed with Member States in October

- FfT paper’s questions presented to Member States and Industry in November

- Recommendations proposed to Member States in February 2017 which will be

endorsed in May 2017

www.eda.europa.eu80

Objectives

1. To act as interface towards wider EU policies by sharing

with industry information on EU regulations/policies, …;

2. To support access to EU funding;

3. To maximise defence industry involvement in R&T projects

and development of capabilities;

4. To share with defence industry the evolution of European

defence requirements, in particular the EU capability

development priorities resulting from the CDP; and

5. To analyse and collect information on the EDTIB and

defence industrial capabilities.

www.eda.europa.eu81

Principles

A. Increased transparency towards industry on EDA

activities, processes and practices;

B. Inclusive approach in respect of industrial interlocutors;

C. Coherent use of EDA for a and tools to interact and

communicate with industry;

D. Coordination of internal processes, practices and actions

towards industry; and

E. Enhanced output and effectiveness through better focus.

www.eda.europa.eu82

EDA & Industry engagement – Capability development

• Capability development process

- Capability Development Plan: To consult industry to provide inputs

about technological and industrial challenges and expected

development to support the CDP update and to inform industry on

long term perspectives

- Exercises: To incrementally offer opportunities for industry to test

concepts and equipment within the existing EDA exercise programme

through technology demonstrator projects and in the medium term to

develop the ‘joint exercise’ concept.

- EDA to continue to act a facilitator of the military views in

SES/SESAR

www.eda.europa.eu83

EDA & Industry engagement – Research & Technology, Innovation

• Defence research prioritization:

- Industry involvement in the Defence Research Prioritisation

process by extending (mandate and membership) of the existing

• Innovation:

- Interaction with innovative companies that are not traditionally

present at the defence sector.

www.eda.europa.eu84

EDA & Industry engagement – KSA

• Key Strategic Activities at EU level:

- The identification of KSA, based on Capability Development Plan

and the Overarching Strategic Research Agenda, is a top down

process.

- Inputs from industry will be actively sought in order to refine the

findings and benefit from industrial knowledge of the state of skills

and manufacturing capabilities in Europe.

www.eda.europa.eu85

EDA & Industry engagement – Support to industry

• To support the depth and diversity of the defence supply chain and
