REUTERS\/Yves Herman<\/figcaption><p>BRUSSELS (Reuters) &#8211; The European Commission on Monday announced three flagship projects &#8211; in drone technologies, space communication and space traffic management &#8211; aimed at giving the 27-country bloc a competitive edge in these new fields.<\/p>\n<p>Called the Action Plan on Synergies between the civil, defence and space industries, the scheme\u2019s objective is to harness research and innovation in the three sectors for the projects and other ventures.<\/p>\n<p>The EU executive said the drone project would reinforce the competitiveness of EU industry in this key area with a strong defence dimension, while space communication would provide for a resilient and high-speed connectivity in Europe based on quantum encryption.<\/p>\n<p>It said space traffic management was required to avoid collisions resulting from the proliferation of satellites and space debris, while ensuring autonomous EU access to space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is for innovations to systematically reach multiple uses by design. And to allow tapping into the huge innovation potential of researchers and start-ups,\u201d European digital chief Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>EU industry commissioner Thierry Breton said the projects would help the bloc stand on its own feet instead of relying on other countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will also reduce our dependencies in critical technologies and boost the industrial leadership we need to recover from the (coronavirus pandemic) crisis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-eu-tech\/eu-looks-to-drones-space-communication-to-get-ahead-in-tech-race-idUSKBN2AM0X4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: European Union flags flutter outside the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Belgium August 21, 2020.
