Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) first collaborative PESCO projects - Overview
Project
European Medical Command
European Secure Software
defined Radio (ESSOR)
Description
The European Medical Command (EMC) will provide the EU with an
enduring medical capability to support missions and operations on the
ground.
The EMC will provide critical medical resources, including a multinational
medical task force with a rapidly deployable capability for basic primary
care. The EMC will also provide evacuation facilities, triage and resuscitation,
treatment and holding of patients until they can be returned to duty, and
emergency dental treatment.
The European Medical Command (EMC) will ensure efficient joint EU
management of scarce European medical services (planning, management
and coordination unit).
It will provide critical medical resources and contribute to harmonising
national medical standards, legal (civil) framework conditions and sanitary
service principles.
The project is expected to make progress the interoperability and the
coherence of health care capabilities in Europe (standardization of concepts,
training and certification).
The European Secure Software Defined Radio aims to develop common
technologies for European military radios. The adoption of these
technologies as a standard will guarantee the interoperability of EU forces in
the framework of joint operations, regardless which radio platforms are
used, thereby reinforcing the European strategic autonomy.
The European Secure Software Defined Radio project will provide a secure
military communications system, improving voice and data communication
between EU forces on a variety of platforms.
