Анотація

The European Union (EU) has long aspired to bolster its defence capabilities, particularly in the realm of defence technological and industrial development. This study scrutinises the EU’s evolving defence ambitions against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global security landscape. Faced with multifaceted security challenges and growing geopolitical uncertainties, the EU has embarked on a journey to enhance its strategic autonomy and bolster its defence industry’s competitiveness. Through a comprehensive analysis of EU policy documents, defence strategies, and industrial initiatives, this study delineates the EU’s efforts to foster innovation, collaboration, and interoperability within its defence ecosystem. Moreover, it explores the mechanisms employed by the EU to leverage synergies between civilian and military research, harness emerging technologies, and fortify its defence industrial base. By delving into the complexities of EU defence initiatives and their implications for transatlantic relations, regional security dynamics, and industrial cooperation, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the EU’s quest for strategic sovereignty and technological prowess in an increasingly contested world.
