Tactical cargo aircraft are the workhorses of the air forces in terms of logistics, medical evacuations, and special missions. Currently, EU Member States operate a wide range of tactical cargo aircraft (e.g. C130, C-295, C-27J). Apart from the A400M, a modern strategic-tactical cross-over platform, many of them will be approaching the end of their life cycle in the upcoming decade. The main objective of the FMTC project is to develop next generation tactical air mobility capability of the armed forces of EU Member States. It aims at providing the participating Member States and industry with robust elements to decide what the 2035+ future of EU military tactical medium size transport fleets will be by defining common requirements for a new Future Mid-size Tactical Cargo.
SATOC aims to fill the critical shortfall for strategic transport for outsized and heavy cargo, a crucial enabler for military missions and operations. SATOC involves a 3-step approach, firstly by identifying a sufficient number of project members, harmonising requirements and finally identifying and agreeing on a common European solution for the transport of outsized cargo. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has also underscored the importance of outsized and heavy cargo transport. The destruction of several Antonov aircrafts, including AN-225 Mriya (the world’s largest cargo aircraft) has further reduced European Armed Forces access to strategic airlift.
EDA’s support to FMTC and SATOC, which will run for an initial 24 months, will be dedicated to harmonising the requirements of the project members and drafting a joint document of precise common guidance for research and development for the envisioned platform.

MBDA Seeks Alternative Partners For Hypersonic Interceptor Project (15. März 2023)
MBDA is to explore other avenues in pursuit of its development of a missile interceptor capable of dealing with hypersonic targets, CEO Eric Beranger says.
The European missile company began developing the three-stage Aquila interceptor eyeing a place on the European Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) project Twister—short for Timely Warning and Interception with Space-based TheatER—which aimed to provide a European system to deal with complex missile threats, including hypersonic weapons.
The missile company had hoped that its work on Aquila might secure it a place on a €100 million ($106 million) European Defense Fund-supported research and development project known as the European Hypersonic Defense Interceptor (HYDEF).
However, MBDA failed to secure work on HYDEF when the winning consortiums were announced last summer, with the European Union instead opting for a team from seven countries led by Spain’s Sener Aerospace and supported by companies including Germany’s Diehl Defense and Norway’s Nammo.
Nonetheless, “We intend to continue to work on this [Aquila] project,” Beranger told journalists as the company announced its 2022 results here March 15. “I think we [Europe] need protection against hypersonics, and we believe in the progress we have made, and think we should continue.”
https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/ ... nterceptorWork on Aquila is in the concept stages in the company, and Beranger acknowledges that bringing the missile system to market would cost “billions” of euros and need strong government support from partner nations.
The HYDEF work—expected to last three years—calls on the Sener-led consortium to undertake concept work, risk mitigation and ultimately the demonstration of a cost-effective endoatmospheric interceptor that is able to operate in what EU officials call “different air levels.”
The interceptor is expected to feature new aerodynamic and actuator systems for high maneuverability, as well as agile guidance concepts and advanced sensor and seeker systems.
The PESCO Twister project includes Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. But three of these countries have since joined the Germany-led European Sky Shield Initiative, for which Germany is proposing the Israeli Arrow 3 system exoatmospheric interceptor for potential ballistic missile defense of European nations following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/6 ... e_2023.pdfROLE 2F
Spain, Bulgaria, France, Portugal, Finland, Sweden
Adopted on 23 May 2023
The intent of this project is to increase the EU’s joint operational efficiency developing the concept of surgical teams.
The evolution of new scenarios and changes in the EU’s strategic environment highlight the need for flexible and agile Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) with a lower logistical footprint than that established by MTFs, which sometimes constitute an obstacle for tactical commands to provide a healthcare continuum for Air, Land, Maritime and Special Operations Forces in order to provide a critical capability to the Force Commanders.
This objective is focused on:
- Defining the conceptual development of the Medical Treatment Facility ROLE 2 Forward (MTF R2F) as the Surgical Facility of minor entity with high mobility that allows to provide Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) and Damage Control Surgery (DCS).
- Establishing the characteristics of healthcare support based on the employment of the EU Rapid Deployment Capacity within the scenarios determined in the Strategic Compass.
- Addressing the capability gap identified by several EU countries.
