SESAR: co-funding and deployment for the military

The Single European Sky (SES) initiative aims at achieving improved efficiency, increased capacity, enhanced aviation safety, diminished environmental impact of flights and reduced costs of air navigation services.

Although SES does not apply to military operations and training, civil and military aviation activities are tightly interlinked, as they share the same airspace.

In 2010, the European Defence Agency (EDA) was tasked by Member States to work on the implications of SES and the Single European Sky ATM Research programme (SESAR) for the European air forces.

EDA supports European air forces to implement the changes introduced by the modernisation of Europe's air traffic management system and to obtain co-funding. With its support, Member States received 88 Million Euros of EU funding for SESAR upgrades.
