- develop a Government air hub at Findel airport;
- implement a military medicine project involving, in particular, operationally deployable medical teams specialized
in trauma surgery and infectious diseases, that will support
Luxembourg hospitals when not deployed, together with
increased bed capacity, incorporated in an existing hospital
facility, for use in times of crisis;
- continue developing expertise and capabilities in the future oriented areas of “space” and “cyber defence” in order to meet the need for surveillance, communications and
data link capabilities, but also the need for data storage and
analysis capabilities, and so as to enhance the safety of our
military personnel, particularly on deployments;
- develop a strategy for industry, innovation and research
in order to involve Luxembourg’s economic fabric in defence
capability building;
- develop a recruitment strategy to meet the requirement
for adequate human resources with suitable profiles,
particularly specialists capable of developing and implementing the capabilities of the defence organization and
of the Luxembourg Armed Forces;
- conduct a study on establishing a national service of
availability enabling skilled civilians to be mobilized in the
event of a crisis so as to strengthen the resilience of the
State and its departments;
- establish a national capability-development agency
tasked with developing and implementing major investment projects.
For these new directions, the Luxembourg Defence will ensure that capabilities of high added value are acquired in
the recognized priority capability areas, that each project
is considered in the light of its potential relevance for Luxembourg society, and will establish durable structures
that anchor defence in Luxembourg’s society and allow
better planning of our defence effort. In addition, the Luxembourg Defence will take particular care to tailor its approach to suit the frameworks of bilateral and multinational cooperation and partnerships in the areas of capability
building and deployment.
These Guidelines will be detailed in a more concrete planning
document, a Defence Master Plan, to be updated annually.
