In Summary ...

• For aeronautics, the technical areas covered will
  be similar to the one covered by F.P.5.
• F.P.6 proposes a number of new instruments,
  amongst which the Integrated Projects. They
  should replace the Technical Platforms, offering
  more autonomy and flexibility.
• Classical RTD projects (STREP, Critical
  Technologies) and CRAFT projects will remain
  (with some adaptations).
• SMEs, as usually in aeronautics, should not
  concentrate on CRAFT projects, but should set up
  Specific Targeted Project and participate to
  Integrated Projects.

Space within F.P.6

• Rationale
• More stringent society demands on Environment
  and Security reliability, availability of
  information, awareness and decision making.
• Further access to positioning, navigation and
  timing services.
• Initiate the implementation of the European
  Space Policy (EU 2001)
• Space has the potential to become an integral
  component of the Unions core policies. The first
  benefits of such a development are already
  highlighted by GALILEO and GMES initiatives..
• European level RTD effort on Space applications
• to complement the European Space Agency
  programmes
• to complement the national programmes.
• to consolidate research activities initiated in
  F.P.5

35
Research Areas for Space in F.P.6

• General objectives directed towards application
  fields
• GALILEO Strategic European infrastructure to
  change transport sector and foster related
  services
• GMES operational capability to provide
  information to the user community as per EC
  Action Plan (2001-2003)
