The document discusses the European Defence Agency's (EDA) work on pooling and sharing satellite communication (SATCOM) capabilities among EU member states. It outlines three strands of work: short-term procurement through the European SATCOM Procurement Cell (ESCPC), medium-term needs like the European Tactical Interim SATCOM Capability (ETISC), and long-term plans for a next-generation secure SATCOM system called SECTELSAT. The EDA aims to establish common requirements, research, and acquisition for SECTELSAT to enable extensive pooling and sharing of SATCOM while preserving national sovereignty over the assets.
