EARTO WG Security & Defence Paper on Capability Driven Approaches across Security Sectors

The EARTO Working Group Security & Defence members published a new position paper “Towards Capability Driven Approaches across Security Sectors”. This paper welcomes the EC “Action Plan on synergies between civil, defence and space industries” adopted on 22 February 2021, as It is an ambitious action plan with 11 challenging actions leading to a more structured and well-functioning European innovation ecosystem. The EARTO WG S&D sees the capability-driven approach as a corner stone of this Action Plan. This position paper provides inputs to the EC supporting the development of Capability Driven Approaches (CDA) across Security Sectors. Based on the RTOs’ experiences across the various security domains, the EARTO WG S&D gives a set of recommendations regarding the adoption and implementation of Capability Driven Approaches across the different internal security sectors.   Read the full EARTO paper
