Getting to grips with JIP

摘要

The European Commission (EC), the European Defence Agency (EDA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are united in their goal to maximise the synergy of civilian security, space and defence related research activities. This synchronisation of research and technology (R&T) investment takes place in the context of the European Framework Cooperation (EFC). More concretely, the EC, EDA and ESA are exploring possible cooperation in the fields of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protection (CBRN), unmanned aerial systems and situation awareness capabilities - the latter covering sensors, cyber-security and information management.
