On the 16th, the European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, Kallas, jointly proposed the "Maintaining Peace - Defense Preparedness Roadmap 2030" in Brussels, emphasizing the transition from "planning" to "action". The roadmap proposes four priority "flagship" projects, namely the "European Drone Defense Initiative", "East Wing Monitoring", "Air Defense Shield", and "Defense Space Shield", to strengthen the EU's deterrence and defense in land, sea, air, cyber, and space fields. The roadmap emphasizes bridging key capability gaps through joint research and procurement, requiring member states to establish "capability alliances" in nine key areas, including air and missile defense, strategic support forces, military mobility, artillery systems, networks and artificial intelligence, as well as electronic warfare, missiles and ammunition, drones and anti drones, ground combat, and maritime forces. The document also proposes to establish a "Military Mobility Zone" covering the entire European Union by 2027, which will enable rapid movement of troops and equipment within Europe through unified rules and land, sea, and air transportation networks; By 2030, promote the formation of a unified EU defense equipment market, and track production capacity in areas such as air defense and missile defense, unmanned aerial vehicles, and space systems to shorten delivery cycles. This roadmap continues the "2030 Ready" white paper and the "Re arm Europe" plan released by the European Union in March this year, and will be submitted for discussion at the EU summit to be held next week.
