European Defence Agency (EDA) Capability Director Peter Round will be taking part in an online debate on the future of defence capabilities as part of Security Jam 2014.
Do you want to know more about EDA projects? Do you have ideas about how we should develop new defence capabilities in Europe? How can we ensure Europe has the capabilities it needs to match its ambitions on the global stage? Peter Round, Director Capability, Armament & Technology, will be online to answer all your questions regarding European defence capabilities tomorrow, 14 October at 15.00 CET.
The debate takes place as part of Security Jam 2014, a week-long online conference on European security and defence, that brings together high level figures from EDA, NATO, national militaries, and academia.
Air Commodore Peter Round is highly experienced officer, originally joining the RAF in 1979. After qualifying as a pilot, he flew Buccaneers in the maritime strike attack role, before holding a series of high-level international roles. He was appointed Director at EDA in July 2012.
EDA Capability development
EDA works across a wide range of different areas within capability development. At the European Council in December 2013, EDA was given responsibility for coordinating the development of four key capabilities: Air-to-Air Refuelling (AAR), Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), Satellite Communication (Satcom), and Cyber Defence.
