Brussels, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — The European Union on Thursday unveiled a defense roadmap aimed at achieving full defense readiness by 2030.
The Roadmap for Safeguarding Peace – Defence Readiness 2030 was jointly presented by the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
The document sets out objectives to close capability gaps, accelerate Member States' defence investments and ensure the EU's full defence readiness by 2030.
According to the roadmap, achieving full defence readiness means ensuring the ability of the armed forces of EU Member States to anticipate, prepare for and respond effectively to any defence-related crises, including high-intensity conflicts.
Four flagship projects are designed to contribute to achieving this goal: the Counter-Drone Defense Initiative, Eastern Flank Sentinel, European Air Shield, and European Space Shield. These projects aim to strengthen deterrence and defense on land, at sea, in the air, in cyberspace, and in space.
The document calls on member states to form “coalitions of capabilities” in nine critical areas, including air and missile defense; strategic enablers; military mobility; artillery systems; cyberspace, artificial intelligence, and electronic warfare; missiles and munitions; drones and counter-drones; and land and maritime forces. –0–
