Foreword by BoS Chairman Introduction on behalf of the OCCAR Board of Supervisors © OCCAR-EA France holds the Chairmanship of the Board of Supervisors in 2016 In the current context of plural threat, we, within the Board of Supervisors, share the idea that cooperation between the European countries in the defence field is essential. As the research of the best value for money is a permanent concern, it requires from each of us an investment strategy. OCCAR is a very credible answer for the Member States and the Non Member Participating States which share the same ambition for European Armament Cooperation. Year after year OCCAR appears to be the right place to enhance such willpower of European defence cooperation because this efficient organisation offers a favourable environment to manage complex Armament Programme Cooperation. As the OCCAR core business is really the Through Life Management of cooperative defence equipment Programmes, the Nations can seek the best value for money by sharing the cost for their systems during the different phases, from Development, to In-Service Support and Disposal. IGA Monique LEGRAND-LARROCHE DGA, Director Operations OCCAR Business Plan 2016 1. Foreword by BoS Chairman P-5 OCCAR is still a young organisation, created to be able to develop and deliver defence capabilities with a high level of quality, performance, flexibility and interoperability and at the best cost for the Member States. As a fact this organisation begins to be a reference for the Programmes managed in a European cooperation environment, able to respond quickly to Nation’s requirement changes but also able to treat at it’s best, the Programmes difficulties. This management proficiency is noticeable through the OCCAR methods, tools and processes which combine the best practices of the Nations and also a real human resource knowhow, by selecting the most talented people. OCCAR-EA efficiency can be easily measured by a low overhead ratio between administrative and operational cost. Therefore, the development of OCCAR and the perspective of a larger Programme portfolio are challenges that OCCAR and the Nations will have to deal with in 2016. We had acknowledged recently that we want to keep the OCCAR level of quality and performance while also ensuring a robust and efficient structure dedicated for Member States and Non Member Participating States. In 2016, OCCAR will also have to emphasise a privileged partnership with the European Defense Agency. It is a good way to promote OCCAR in the context of European cooperation. EDA offers a complementary approach by initiating new Armament Programmes that we can integrate in OCCAR. I would like to conclude this introduction by recalling OCCAR’s efficiency and innovation for managing complex Armament Programmes with professionalism, integrity and cultural diversity. The challenges of 2016 must be faced with the same dynamic and close collaboration between OCCAR-EA and the Member States, but also within the Member States themselves as it has been the case for years now. Monique Legrand-Larroche December 2015 OCCAR Business Plan 2016 2 P-6 © OCCAR-EA 2. Foreword by the OCCAR Director Foreword by the OCCAR Director Timothy ROWNTREE OCCAR Director 2015 saw an unprecedented growth in the OCCAR Programme portfolio from 8 to 13 Programmes. This huge growth further demonstrates the confidence of our customer Nations in OCCAR’s capability to deliver successful cooperative Programmes. With more than 25 of the superb A400M airlifters now in service, joining the in service fleets of FREMM frigates, TIGER helicopters, FSAF PAAMS missile defence systems, BOXER vehicles and COBRA radars, OCCAR Programmes are a key component of the European Defence inventory across the land, air and maritime domains. The success of 2015 also reinforces the fact that cooperation is now a proven way to secure better, more common and interoperable equipment at a much lower cost than is possible through National Programmes, both for initial acquisition and throughlife sustainment. 2015 has also proved another important point: that despite our high work load and relatively small team sizes, we have been able to rise to the challenge of the new Programmes whilst maintaining full control of our existing Programmes. Our new Programmes are the Multipurpose Patrol Ships (PPA), the Logistic Support Ship (LSS), the Multi Role Tanker Transport aircraft (MMF), the Maritime Mine Countermeasures Systems (MMCM) and the Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (MALE RPAS). Together with a significant expansion during 2015 of the Boxer vehicle Programme, these new Programmes span a significant breadth of capability areas, which will further strengthen the European Defence Capability and the vital European industrial and technological base that underpins it, for many years to come. There are of course good reasons for the success of 2015, and why our customer Nations continue to trust us with an ever increasing portfolio of vital capability Programmes. OCCAR embodies 5 key differentiators which drive our success: Efficiency: OCCAR seeks best Value for Money driven as far as possible by healthy competition. This also extends to the selection of our staff, creating fierce competition amongst the best candidates that the Nations can provide. Thus we deliver our 50 Bn € portfolio with a lean structure of only 255 people, representing an administrative cost overhead of just 1.4% of our 3.4 Bn € annual Programme budget. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 2. Foreword by the OCCAR Director P-7 Open to non-OCCAR Nations: OCCAR Programmes are open to participation by non-OCCAR Nations on fair and equal terms, we currently have 6 non-OCCAR States participating in OCCAR Programmes. A Strong framework to protect: The highly evolved, tried and tested OCCAR model provides an ISO Certified Quality Management System and state of the art programme and risk management within a solid legal and commercial framework. This framework protects the interests of all nations in a programme and ensures that participating nations are held harmless from the effects of decisions made by the other partners. This principle avoids international tension and proves highly effective for the benefit of all nations in a programme. Empowered Programme teams within a MultiProject Executive Administration: This construct provides strong governance and support from a lean and effective Central Office, whilst the empowered programme divisions focus on programme delivery. This allows cross-project knowledge and experience to be brought to bear at the critical points when programmes move into new programme phases. Working hand in hand with our customers: Another fundamental point about why the OCCAR model works, is that nations don’t just pass programmes to OCCAR and wait. They stay absolutely engaged and making the key decisions through our programme committee structures, and we in OCCAR execute what our customer nations decide. programmes, and to further improve the quality of the OCCAR framework. We already have some further tentative programme opportunities in work, and we will develop these. We will also continue our strong focus on demonstrating the huge benefits of cooperation during the In-Service phase. This is a very under exploited area of international cooperation, and one that offers massive cost and capability benefits. A400M, for example, presents a great opportunity for the nations to save costs and maximise Through-Life capability through a global support solution, and this is now developing very strongly with UK and France already sharing a common spares pool and other services. It is clear that in today’s business driven world, it’s not enough to talk in general terms about cooperative benefits, we need to show the benefits in hard cash and operational capability terms. And that is exactly what we are doing. We will further strengthen our important relationship with the European Defence Agency (EDA), working seamlessly together to deliver coherent capabilities for Europe. At the same time, we will continue to build upon our relationship with NATO, and in particular with the NSPA, where we cooperate on a number of programmes. 2016 is set to be another highly successful year for OCCAR. OCCAR is ready for that challenge. Together with the whole OCCAR team, I am proud to provide the very highest standard of capability and performance for all of our customer nations. Looking forward to 2016 and beyond, we will continue to focus on the successful delivery of our current Timothy Rowntree December 2015 OCCAR Business Plan 2016 3 OCCAR at a glance P-9 3.1 Mission To facilitate and manage cooperative European Armament Programmes through their life cycle, as well as Technology Demonstrator Programmes (TDPs), to the satisfaction of our customers. 3.2 Vision Customer relationship Best of Class To excel in providing personalised service and building long-term relationships with European Defence stakeholders.

We recognise and use the different cultures, skills and experiences of our staff and customers as drivers for innovation and continual improvement. Professionalism, teamwork and positive attitude towards change Integrity We are committed to the highest standards of integrity in dealing with Nation’s financial resources, assets and defence systems. © OCCAR-EA We believe that these are the essential values for the achievement of excellence. OCCAR Director, Staff Meeting OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-10 3.4 Strategic Aims OCCAR has defined Strategic Aims, which translate its vision into concrete terms. The figure below shows the main cause-and-effect relationships between these Strategic Aims. Be first choice for European Programmes Customers Become armament organisation of choice C Improve Programme delivery effectiveness Maintain and enhance dialogue on defence collaboration C2 C3 C1 3. OCCAR at a glance Financial Provide best value for money Internal Processes Achieve operational excellence Learning and Growth Prepare future challenges F I Ensure efficient use of resources Provide effective planning and management of funds F4 F5 Facilitate integration of Programmes and TDPs Improve Programme management capability Improve corporate support I6 I7 I8 Innovate; Develop competencies; Empower staff L L9 Performance measurement of those Strategic Aims is done by using a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) with a defined set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are monitored at Corporate and Programme level. With those KPIs OCCAR evaluates its success as an organisation and the progress in OCCAR managed Programmes. Recent results at Corporate level and targets for future years are shown in Annex A. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-11 3.5 Implementation of the Corporate Strategy First priority is to ensure the effective management and successful delivery of our existing integrated Programmes and Programmes currently being integrated; Acquisition of new programmes is still high priority. Promotion of OCCAR by communication with the European defence community will be continued; The integration of new non-Member Programme Participating States, including possibly from beyond Europe, will be further promoted; The integration of new programmes, specifically through EDA, will be further prepared; and OCCAR will position itself to the NATO community as a viable, effective Procurement Organisation. The following actions can be derived from these priorities and be linked to the OCCAR Strategic Aims: Be a centre of excellence and be recognised as such [related to Strategic Aims C1, C2, F4, F5, I7, I8, L9] OCCAR-EA will strive to improve its status as a centre of excellence for management of cooperative programmes and to be recognised as such by developing and integrating best through life Programme Management practices and innovative techniques, including Life Cycle Costing analysis. Manage and expand already integrated OCCAR Programmes [related to Strategic Aims C1, I7] OCCAR-EA will manage its already integrated Programmes to the highest possible quality level and take an active role in proposing new activities and programme stages for OCCAR management to the Participating States. The default approach should be that all programme stages are managed by OCCAR in a through life sense, subject to agreement by the Participating States. Identify, assess and integrate new programmes Develop the OCCAR model to work effectively and efficiently with a larger programme portfolio [related to Strategic Aims C1, F4, L9] The necessary resources for programme preparation, integration and continued OCCAR management must be in place to enable successful business development and high quality, long term programme delivery by OCCAR. As a consequence, programme integration on top of the current 12 Programmes will require the development of the Central Office organisational structure, the associated financial aspects and to adapt OCCAR-EA processes and competences. Promote OCCAR as Programme Management organisation through external communication [related to Strategic Aim C3] OCCAR-EA will communicate information about the organisation and promote its track record within the European defence community. The aim is to positively influence OCCAR-EA target audiences by key messages communicated through the appropriate communication channels. Integrate new Participating States [related to Strategic Aims C1, I6]] OCCAR-EA will actively support the integration of new Participating States. Essential for the accession of new Participating States are the benefits for both the existing and new Participating States. Develop and review programme participation models [related to Strategic Aims C1, I6] All suitable programme participation models need to provide easy access to OCCAR Programme Management services and flexibility to fulfil the needs of the Participating States but also to protect the Participating States, OCCAR and its Member States from any threats. The close cooperation with EDA including the development of cooperation models will be continued. [related to Strategic Aim I6] OCCAR-EA will monitor evolving cooperative armament opportunities, in coordination with the MoDs of the OCCAR Member States and also the EDA, with a view to identifying potential future OCCAR programmes at an early stage. When potential new programmes have been identified, OCCAR-EA will promote OCCAR as the Programme Management organisation. Develop the co-operation with NSPO/NSPA further [related to Strategic Aims C1, I6] The relationship to NSPO/NSPA will be further deepened in order to position OCCAR to provide Programme Management capabilities to NATO.

OCCAR at a glance © OCCAR-EA P-13 OCCAR Board of Supervisors and OCCAR Director OCCAR Business Plan 2016 © DCNS 4 OCCAR Programme Management P-15 OCCAR has been established to manage Defence Programmes in the most efficient way for its Member States and other Participating States. Each OCCAR Programme is managed against a set of High Level Objectives (HLOs) giving clear direction to the Programme in terms of performance, time and cost. In order to achieve these HLOs, OCCAR uses professional Programme Management methodologies that result in optimum performance and delivery timescales and the reduction of risk and cost. 2015 has been very successful in terms of significant development and growth. OCCAR has successfully managed to integrate three new Programmes: The Multipurpose Patrol Ship (PPA); The Logistic Support Ship (LSS); and The FR/UK Maritime Mine Counter Measures (FR/UK MMCM). Furthermore, the management of the Multinational Multirole Tanker Transport Aircraft Fleet (MMF) was set up in 2015. This is planned to develop into a Programme Division in 2016. Another major Programme, the European Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (MALE RPAS) was assigned to OCCAR for management purposes in 2015 and is also planned to launch as a Programme Division in 2016.

For all Programmes a Through Life Management (TLM) approach is applied to efficiently assist Nations in making the right decisions. To this end, OCCAR will use agile and adaptive life cycle cost analysis to make the business case for cooperation, particularly during the In-Service Phase where the benefits have in the past been more difficult to prove. As National budgets remain under extreme pressure, OCCAR will use this analysis to assist Nations in making the right decisions based upon a robust cost and capability analysis of a range of possible options. This will allow OCCAR, for the first time, to present financial numbers to demonstrate the actual value of cooperative efficiencies. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 4. Programme Management Member States P-16 © AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE 4.1 The Programmes and TDPs managed by OCCAR in 2016 4. Programme Management A400M – A TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC AIRLIFTER The A400M meets the need for an efficient, all-terrain transport aircraft for today’s military operations and uniquely combines strategic (inter-theatre) range, payload and speed, with a tactical (intra-theatre) capability including low level flight and operations from unprepared runways. It can transport troops and heavy, large volume loads and act as a tanker for both fast jets and helicopters. Nicolas HUE A400M Programme Manager The A400M is a new design tailored to meet the customers’ needs, and is at the forefront of developments in new technology for large aircraft. The Programme was officially launched and integrated into OCCAR in May 2003 with 6 Participating States: Belgium (also representing Luxembourg), France, Germany, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The prime contractor is Airbus Military Sociedad Limitada (AMSL). In order to achieve its unique combination of tactical and strategic roles, including exacting performance requirements, it was necessary to embody a wide range of new and innovative systems, materials and techniques. The first flight was in December 2009 and the first delivery was in August 2013 to France. As of end 2015, 25 aircraft have been delivered. Currently 5 Nations, France, Turkey, UK, Germany and Malaysia (as first export customer) are now operating the A400M. In 2015, the production ramp up increased from 9 aircraft in 2014 to 14 aircraft deliveries in 2015 (including 2 aircraft deliveries to Malaysia), despite the crash of one of the production aircraft in May 2015 which led to a temporary pause of operational, development and production flights. In 2016, major progress in capability delivery (Aerial Delivery, DASS) is expected to be achieved and production ramp-up is expected to further increase. Logistic Support activities are fully integrated in the Development and Production Phase contract and currently initial support services are in place for France, Germany, UK and Turkey. OCCAR-EA has signed an initial support contract for Spain in 2015, as they will receive their first A400M in 2016. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-17 A400M Toulouse Team © OCCAR-EA Seville Team © OCCAR-EA © AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE A400M is attracting interest from potential customers around the world with growing levels of interest and the first export contract since the start of serial production is expected soon. As a result, export related activities are anticipated to progress further. Main activities 2016 – 2021: Further Qualification/Certification (including Standard Aircraft Operating Clearance) and Type Acceptance; First Aircraft deliveries to Spain, Belgium and Luxembourg; Orders and deliveries of ILS services and products; Aircraft and Engine Global Support Contracts signature and implementation; Retrofit ramp up; and Export ramp up.

Programme Management The aircraft offers great potential for Partner Nations (and export customers) to achieve greater capability and significant through-life cost savings by maintaining a common aircraft standard and common (Global) In-Service Support. Thus, an A400M InService Support (ISS) MoU was signed by all Nations in 2011. A Programme Arrangement and a parallel Programme Decision covering the Global Support Solution are in final staffing for signature in the first half of 2016. OCCAR-EA is working closely with Nations and Industry on the preparation of Global Support Contracts (one for the aircraft and one for engine support) that will implement a cooperative approach among Nations. The Aircraft Global Support Project is planned in 2 Steps: the First Step in 2016 is based on cooperation between France, UK, Spain and then Turkey joining gradually; in the Second Step Germany and Belgium are expected to join in 2019. The first Engine Support Contract is planned to be signed early 2016. © BUNDESWEHR P-18 4. Programme Management BOXER – THE NEXT GENERATION OF MULTI ROLE ARMOURED VEHICLES The BOXER is a heavily armoured 8x8 all terrain support and transport vehicle that is being produced in four mission module variants for Germany and five mission module variants for The Netherlands. Andreas ZEKORN BOXER Programme Manager The BOXER Programme provides the German and The Netherlands Armies with a new generation of all terrain armoured utility vehicles. BOXER provides balanced capabilities of transport-capacity, mobility, protection, survivability, growth potential and efficient life cycle costs. BOXER can operate in high intensity conflict, in rapid reaction peace support and in humanitarian operations worldwide, offering improved capabilities and higher levels of performance and protection than other vehicles in its class. The first discussions on a multi-role armoured vehicle in an international context originated from France and Germany before 1995. The United Kingdom joined the discussion in 1996 and in 1999 they decided together that it should be a wheeled vehicle. After France left the Programme in 1999, The Netherlands joined the BOXER development in 2001. At the same time OCCAR was requested to execute the management of the development contract. In 2004 UK left the Programme. Several BOXER prototypes were built and an extensive qualification Programme for the various vehicle types started. The development phase was executed by ARTEC GmbH – a consortium currently formed by Krauss Maffei Wegmann, Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles and Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles Nederland. In December 2006, OCCAR placed the contract with ARTEC for series production of 272 vehicles for Germany and 200 vehicles for The Netherlands. In 2015 Germany requested OCCAR to prepare the procurement of 131 additional BOXER vehicles. The BOXER is delivered to Germany in four different vehicle versions, and will be delivered to The Netherlands in five different vehicle versions. The BOXER is an 8x8 all terrain heavily-armoured utility vehicle with a concept of a common drive module and an exchangeable mission module, making it a flexible military vehicle, thus ensuring OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-19 maximum strategic and tactical mobility in a wide range of operational scenarios. This unique modular concept of the BOXER offers major opportunities for developing new vehicle variants. The original design of the BOXER vehicle was improved in 2010/2011 to conform to new operational needs. Amongst other design changes a raised weapon station, an add-on mine protection floor and better Improvised Explosive Device (IED) protection are now part of the A1 version of the German BOXER vehicles. Recent new requirements like the Fire Suppression System (FSS) and Driver Vision System (DVS) will be implemented in the A2 version. © Bundeswehr BOXER The qualification Programme for Germany was finished in 2012, and for the Netherlands qualification will continue allowing some significant changes to the design. Series production was started in 2009 for Germany and more than 245 vehicles are currently in use with Germany. From mid 2011 until early 2014, Germany deployed more than 30 BOXERs for operations in Afghanistan. The first Netherlands BOXER, a driver trainer vehicle, was delivered in August 2013. In January 2014 the delivery of The Netherlands’ Ambulance started and was finalised in July 2015. Delivery of the Command Post version started in July 2015 and will be followed by the Cargo and Engineers Group version in 2016. The deliveries of NL vehicles will finish early 2018. The BOXER is designed for an in service lifetime of around 30 years. Main activities 2016 – 2018: Completion of trials and qualifications of the mission module versions for The Netherlands; Finish delivery of the German BOXER sgSanKfz versions; Preparation and start of delivery of the German second Batch of 131 vehicles; Preparation and execution of the upgrade of the German Vehicles to the A2 configuration; Delivery of The Netherlands CAR, CP and GNGP versions; and Further develop the supportability of the vehicles.

Programme Management The Programme represents a major bi-National cooperation between Germany and The Netherlands, which will bring great operational benefits including interoperability between the Armies, as well as financial savings. The sharing of development costs, technologies and economies of scale in production are just three of the major attractions and benefits of this cooperation. © OCCAR-EA © BUNDESWEHR P-20 4. Programme Management COBRA – COunter Battery RAdar – ADVANCED WEAPON LOCATING SYSTEM Location of weapon systems, registration and adjustment of friendly firings, creation of battlefield data and communication with battle forces: COBRA is a singularly effective force on the battlefield, performing rapidly and accurately. Regine FRIEDBERGER COBRA Programme Manager COBRA (COunter Battery RAdar) is a cooperative longrange battlefield radar Programme between Germany, France and Turkey. The COBRA Programme was initially established between Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom departed from the COBRA Programme as a Participating State with effect from 1 January 2013. In the same year Turkey joined the COBRA Programme for the In-Service support of their systems. COBRA radar systems have been in service since 2005, the delivery of systems to the initial Participating States (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) was completed in May 2007. Common support in the InService Phase has been implemented and arrangements have been made for Turkey to be included in that phase as they have acquired two COBRA systems from Germany. COBRA is still considered to be one of the world’s most advanced land based weapon locating systems, comprising a high performance radar, advanced processing and an integrated, flexible command, control and communication system. The design includes state of-the-art digital processing and an advanced active, solid-state phased array antenna comprising several thousand transmit/ receive modules. The COBRA mission is to locate mortars, rocket launchers and artillery batteries and to provide information for countering their effectiveness. It is also able to monitor breaches of cease fire when deployed in a peacekeeping role. Following a OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-21 COBRA The general support and engineering management of the COBRA Programme Division covers all engineering and logistic activities related to the availability of the Systems, the Support to Operations, the Maintainability and the implementation of any operational requirements to improve COBRA performance and capabilities, including software updates and modifications. Significant software improvements have already been implemented into the system in order to reflect more recent threats and improve performance. Further system improvements are under preparation. Additional COBRA Systems have © BUNDESWEHR been or are going to be manufactured by industry for export to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Qatar. TR decided in 2015 to leave the COBRA Programme and TR activities will be phased out during 2016. One of the main future activities for 2016 and 2017 will be to maintain and improve on the already high levels of system availability with the implementation of on-site maintenance at deployed locations and to manage the phasing out of TR in a fair and equitable manner.

Programme Management ESSOR – THE EUROPEAN SECURE SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO ESSOR, the European Secure Software Defined Radio Programme, secures for the Participating States and European industry the next generation of interoperable Software Defined Radio (SDR). The ESSOR Technology Demonstrator Programme (TDP) was a cooperative venture between Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden in the EDA framework as an ad hoc Category B Programme. The aims of the ESSOR TDP were the design, development and implementation of: 1. A Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture for military purposes (called ESSOR Architecture); and 2. A military High Data Rate networking wideband Waveform (HDR WF) compliant with such architecture, which may be promoted as a Wideband Waveform STANAG. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-23 ESSOR © Thales The strategic goal of the ESSOR TDP was to provide the basis for development and production of SDR products in Europe, as well as to enhance the radio interoperability among the Participating States’ armed forces in coalition deployments. The ESSOR TDP goals were widely achieved; especially several multinational qualification tests demonstrated that interoperability in military radio-communications is achievable through the SDR technology. These milestones are of paramount importance and are unique as no other cooperative military radio Programmes have obtained such results. This landmark result achieved in such a The ESSOR Programme is now moving to its next phase, which will address the operational deployment of the HDR WF including Field Tests, technical enhancements of the ESSOR products to cover a wider range of operational requirements, and considerations for the standardisation of these products. This new ESSOR phase is called Operational Capability #1 (ESSOR OC1) and will be executed as part of the first Project Arrangement under a new ESSOR Framework Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This MoU foresees different Project Arrangements to address the Development, Qualification, Production, In-Service Support and Disposal of different SDR products to provide the Participating States’ armed forces with state of the art interoperable tactical and aeronautical communications until around 2030. The contract award of the ESSOR OC1 is forecasted for 2016. Finland, France, Italy and Spain have signed the ESSOR Framework MoU. As of 29 February Poland and Sweden still need to take a decision.

Programme Management FREMM – THE FUTURE MULTI-MISSION FRIGATES Leonardo BIANCHI FREMM Programme Manager Thierry DICK FREMM Deputy Programme Manager The FREMM Programme is one of the most ambitious and innovative European naval defence projects. The multi-mission frigates are designed to meet the requirements of the French and Italian Navies for the next decades. In 2005, the project management of the FREMM Programme was entrusted to OCCAR. The FREMM frigates will ensure the renewal of the French and Italian Navy’s surface fleet. With eight frigates ordered by France and ten by Italy, the FREMM Programme is one of the largest European Naval Programmes. Common core of the Programme Deliveries of FREMM frigates are scheduled from 2012 to 2022. These new generation frigates are developed by the French and Italian major providers of global Naval solutions, DCNS and Orizzonte Sistemi Navali, in a single contract. The FREMM collaboration is a pragmatic approach that has sought to reap the benefits of cooperation through common systems development and the flexibility to meet a range of mission needs. The French FREMM are being developed in two designs: Anti Submarine Warfare (ASM) and Anti Air Warfare (FREDA). Both of them deliver anti surface weapons. The final crew number is 108 people (helicopter detachment included), which is much lower than for similar contemporary ships. The crew reduction was reached thanks to advanced technical solutions and a centralised combat system. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-25 The Italian FREMM are also being developed in two designs: Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) and General Purpose (GP) with the possibility to perform © OCCAR-EA a wide range of operational missions. The Italian versions also operate with a reduced crew thanks to Human Factors studies/ optimisation and the high level of automation. The final crew number of 145 is the result of the choice of having on board 2 helicopters (with two crews), a federated Combat Management System and a higher level of maintainers embarked to ensure greater flexibility when operating far from Italy. FREMM © DCNS The construction of both French and Italian FREMM frigates is in line with the schedule. The First of Class (FOC) ASM FREMM frigate Aquitaine was delivered to the French Navy on 23 November 2012. The second frigate, the Follow on Ship (FOS) ASM Provence, was delivered on 12 June 2015. The ASM Normandie was ready to be delivered to the French Navy in December 2014 but was sold to the Republic of Egypt. Three other French frigates are currently being built simultaneously and are at different stages of construction. The Bergamini ship (FOC General Purpose) was delivered fully operational to the Italian Navy on 29 May 2013. The Fasan ship (FOC ASW) was delivered in December 2013, the Margottini ship (FOS ASW1) on 27 February 2014 and the Carabiniere ship (FOS ASW2) on 28 April 2015. Five other Italian ships are currently being built simultaneously and are at different stages of construction. Following OCCAR’s Through Life Management (TLM) approach, the FREMM Programme includes, for both French and Italian frigates, an Integrated Logistic Support phase and an initial In-Service Support phase (which started at the frigates’ delivery) that involves engineering support, configuration and obsolescence management, technical service, training, supply chain support management, electronic systems maintenance and documentation. Main activities 2016 – 2018: Build FR ASM FOS 3 to FR ASM FOS 6 and FREDA FOC and FOS 1; FREDA (Anti-Air Warfare frigates) studies; Build IT FOS ASW 3; FOS GP 1, 2, 3 and 4; Qualification and contractual acceptance processes; Delivery FR ASM FOS 3, 4 and 5; Delivery IT FOS ASW 3 and FOS GP 1 and 2; and ILS for first 4 FR ships; ILS for first 6 IT ships.

Fulvio BELLASSAI FSAF-PAAMS Programme Manager FSAF PAAMS Munitions Famille des systèmes Surface-Air Futurs – Famiglia dei sistemi Superficie-Aria Futuri. On 26 October 1988, French and Italian Defence Ministers signed the Memorandum of Understanding for the development of a surface to air anti missile system family – FSAF. Phase 2, launched in 1997 (French DGA contract for complementary qualifications and industrialisation), has been completed for the Surface Air Anti Missile (SAAM) systems and is nearing completion for the SAMP/T. Principal Anti Air Missile Systems are based on common elements developed within the FSAF Programme and provide three main defence capabilities. These are self defence, local and naval maritime protection for French and Italian Horizon Frigates and United Kingdom Type 45 Destroyers. PAAMS provides a rapid, agile and responsive operational capability. Phase 3 (OCCAR contract) launched in 2003, covers Système sol Air Moyenne Portee Terrestre – Sistema superficie Aria Media Portata Terrestre (SAMP/T) production/complementary developments Anti Tactical Ballistic Missile (ATBM), link 16, Indentification Friend or Foe (IFF) mode 5 and FSAFPAAMS Aster munition production. FSAF-PAAMS and LRR In-Service Support This complex 5-year contract supports five end users (across three Nations). They are the French Air Force; Italian Army, Italian Navy, UK Royal Navy and the French Navy. The performance of the first three year contract has been completed. Optional years 4 and 5 have now been taken by the Nations, and a further 6 months was recently approved bringing the total contract duration to 5.5 years. The follow-on In-Service Support (ISS) OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-27 © OCCAR-EA contract continues to be negotiated, taking into account the lessons learnt from the early years and avoiding unsupportable operational systems for the Nations. Programme Status SAAM/FR In the frame of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier’s retrofit Programme, scheduled for 2016-2018 period, a mid life update of its Surface to Air Anti Missile system was launched in 2014. A new open software architecture of the command and control system coupled with a new console is aimed at extending Charles de Gaulle’s in service life, and to facilitate the support and future evolutions. SAAM/IT Cavour aircraft carrier entered into military service in 2009. Final acceptance of Cavour’s SAAM system took place in March 2015. PAAMS and LRR system PAAMS of the French and Italian Horizon frigates was qualified in 2012. Some radar hardware and software adjustments were launched in 2015 to improve performances in littoral areas and its In-Service Support. SAMP/T Development and Production activities are nearing completion in line with the customer’s requirements. Closure is expected in April 2016. SAMP/T Operational evaluation activities After delivery of the last SAMP/T sections at the end of 2015, the French Air Force and Italian Army systems are now fully operational. Joint operational exercises and activities will continue to be conducted with Italy to improve the users’ skills and share experiences during live firings or major field events, contributing towards a NATO structure of integration. The SAMP/T common system support is now well established and will be the foundation for the success of all operational and training activities. ASTER missile The production missile deliveries will conclude in 2017 for the Nations. The forecast production plan is consistent with operational needs; OCCAR-EA continues to monitor technical facts, obsolescence management and ageing components in terms of missile safety and performance. Sustainment and Enhancement (S and E) To meet evolving IT and FR operational needs and to resolve longer term support risks, a new S and E phase is under development. In parallel the UK will enter a risk reduction phase in 2016, before potentially committing in the following years. This will be a key focus of the Programme Divisions efforts in 2016, with the overall aim of delivering a first class operational capability for the customers. Main activities 2016 – 2018: Follow-on ISS Contract; SAMP/T Phases 2 and 3 contract closure; Phase 3 Ammunition deliveries; Sustainment and Enhancement contracts placed for France, Italy and the United Kingdom; and Facilitate joint Operational Firings amongst Participating States using NATO Command and Control interfaces.

Programme Management LSS - Logistic Support Ship The Logistic Support Ship will be designed and developed to provide a wide spectrum of missions related to logistic support and will operate at all levels of the force spectrum. Gianandrea BULDRINI LSS Programme Manager OCCAR has been requested by Italy to manage a new project for the design, development, production, inservice support and disposal of a Logistic Support Ship (LSS). On the basis of the Programme Management Authorisation signed in 2014 OCCAR-EA has prepared the Production contract which covers the acquisition of the ship and initial In-Service Support. The contract became effective in May 2015 and delivery of the ship is planned for 2019. With its state of-the art design and technical features, the ship will meet today’s requirements of a modern Navy in various scenarios. LSS will offer an extraordinary capacity and a high degree of flexibility at low support cost. The main mission of the LSS is strategic transport, replenishment at sea and sea basing, and it is intended to replace the oldest support ship in service that is going to be decommissioned in the next few years. OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-29 LSS © OCCAR-EA The LSS will be able to fully support the long-range missions of a naval group, including aircraft carriers. The LSS will perform the tasks of refuelling and provide full operational logistic support to first line ships in terms of specialised intervention and repair at sea, spare parts, ammunition replenishment and supplies.

Programme Management FR/UK MMCM - Maritime Mine Counter Measures France (FR) and the United Kingdom (UK) have initiated a Programme to assess and develop a Maritime Mine Counter Measures (MMCM) capability comprising unmanned systems operating remotely, at a standoff distance from mother ships, through a command and control centre (either on board ship or deployed ashore). Gary WADE FR/UK MMCMProgramme Manager The stand-off concept is based on off-board capabilities aimed at keeping personnel outside the minefields whenever possible. By defeating static underwater threats at pace, these systems will give strategic, operational and tactical freedom of manoeuvre and thereby assure the delivery of Maritime Force Projection and Maritime Security at the time and place of the Nations’ choosing in support of a wide range of naval operations. service and the life-cycle cost benefits of delivering MCM capability in a new way. FR and UK share a common set of requirements which were partly derived from a Common Staff Requirement, defined by 13 Contributing Member States of the European Defence Agency project. The Programme builds on related research undertaken in France (Espadon demonstrator) and the UK (Flexible Agile Sweeping Technology and System Demonstrators). The objective of the OCCAR-managed MMCM Programme is to develop, manufacture and qualify two Primary Systems to demonstrate prototype technologies, combined to deliver an agile, interoperable and robust MMCM capability. The Programme will help to determine the options for replacing existing MCM Vessels when they retire from The bi-lateral Programme was formally initiated under the Lancaster House Treaties between FR and the UK in late 2010. The Framework MoU was signed in January 2014. In March 2015 OCCAR, on behalf of the UK and FR, awarded a demonstration phase contract following a Competition launched by the Programme Integration Team in April 2012. The OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-31 selected bidder was Thales Underwater Systems SAS. Thales Underwater Systems SAS has two key Subcontractors Thales UK Limited and BAE Systems. The Contract is structured with: OT1 for Stage 2 (Manufacture of two systems) As the Programme matures other Nations may join if acceptable to FR and UK and subject to meeting the necessary entry arrangements with OCCAR. Results from the joint phase will allow the launch of the full development and production phase for the Primary Systems. This might also be conducted on a bilateral basis, or could include additional partners, and could increase in scope to consider, amongst other aspects, the development and production of the mother ships.

Programme Management Multinational Space-based Imaging System MUSIS is a next generation space-based imagery system for surveillance, reconnaissance and observation missions. Cyril HECKEL MUSIS Programme Manager Framework The Multinational Space-based Imaging System for surveillance, reconnaissance and observation (MUSIS) is an endeavour launched by several European Nations to bring together the next generation of military and dual-use space-based imaging systems. Under the name MUSIS Federating Activities, Italy and France have established an ad-hoc cooperation agreement to enable direct ground communications and image exchanges between satellite systems for CSO which they are each responsible. The Programme was integrated into OCCAR in 2011, which broadened the organisation’s portfolio into space technology Programmes. A Common Interoperability Layer (CIL) The primary objective of the MUSIS Federating Activities managed by OCCAR is to provide easy and reliable access to each Nation’s individual capabilities CIL CSG MUSIS Common Interoperability Layer (CIL): Ground system bridging the space systems CSO and CSG OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-33 Programmes, the number of ground components, controlling consoles and personnel to operate the federating system will be kept to a minimum, thereby reducing life cycle costs. © OCCAR-EA e.g. Satellite tasking and image production, thus enabling cross utilisation by both Italy and France of two complementary space systems. The French Optical Space Component (CSO) will produce optical pictures of the Earth while the Italian CSG (COSMOSkyMed Second Generation) will generate ground images based on RADAR technology. Thanks to the MUSIS Federating Activities, Italy will be able to access not only RADAR pictures from its own satellites but also easy-to-interpret optical images from the French system. Similarly, France will not only make use of its optical system but will also benefit from the Italian all-weather, night-and-day RADAR capability. The technical solution consists of an advanced bridge called the Common Interoperable Layer (CIL) which will be placed between the user ground segments of the two National space systems. The CIL will enable users from one Nation to task the space system of the other Nation and be able to receive, store and retrieve image products in a secure way. Compared to previous image exchange The Definition phase was subdivided in Phases B1 and B2. Phase B1 was a one year contract placed in 2011 with a collaboration of Thales Alenia Space Italia S.p.A, Astrium S.A.S. and Thales Alenia Space France. This work confirmed that CSO and CSG systems were interoperable, and that it was possible for the CIL to provide full reciprocal access to both space systems without major modification to their designs. The definition work was then completed under Phase B2, the contract being placed in late 2014 and concluding in September 2015. The Industrial partner for Phase B2 was Thales Alenia Space Italia S.p.A and Airbus Defence and Space S.A.S. This work defined the requirements and the architecture of the CIL as well as providing a Life Cycle Cost estimate for the CIL. OCCAR has provided day-to-day management of the MUSIS Programme with a lean structured team located in the Central Office Bonn, supported as necessary with technical expertise from the two Participating States. Looking towards the future The subsequent Programme Phases for MUSIS now await the Participating States and any other States wishing to join the Programme to consider the output from the Definition Phase and agree on a plan to take the work into Development and beyond, with the potential that the CIL could enter into service before the end of the decade.

Programme Management PPA – MULTIROLE OFFSHORE PATROL VESSEL - THE NEXT GENERATION SHIP The PPA Programme is an innovative multipurpose patrol ship project. It includes the design, development, production of 10 ships, and the In-Service Support for ten years. Marko TOMASSETTI PPA Programme Manager PPA ships meet today’s requirements of a modern Navy in a wide range of operations and scenarios, fully interoperable with NATO and EU partners but more versatile than the present generation of ships. In fact PPA has been conceived since the beginning with enhanced “dual use” features, able to carry out traditional military tasks and to operate in support of Humanitarian or Disaster Relief Assistance Operations and during peace time (e.g. modular hospital, electrical power, drinkable water ashore and containers). Some characteristics deserve a special mention: very high speed, long endurance, resilience and seaworthiness, manoeuvrability, modularity, high level of integration/automation, in other words better suited to face the challenges of the 21st century. Furthermore, the environmental footprint will be smaller than ever, by further reducing the polluting emissions, and by adopting new generation bio fuel and electrical propulsion. Configurations/Capabilities PPA will be delivered in three configurations with incremental capabilities: FULL: able to carry out tasks in all warfare areas such as anti-air (AAW), anti-surface (ASuW) and anti submarine warfare (ASW); LIGHT: with limited warfare capabilities, but with a high versatility granted by its “fitted for” configuration, which allows an improvement of operational capabilities through the installation of systems and equipment according to the specific mission to be carried out; and LIGHT PLUS: similar to ‘light’ but with anti-air (SAAM-ESD) and enhanced anti-surface warfare capabilities. The armament may include a medium range surfaceto-air missile system, a 127/64 mm lightweight gun for guided long range ammunition, a 76/62 mm single deck gun for guided ammunition, remote OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-35 control 25 mm guns, heavy and lightweight torpedo launchers, a towed array sonar and multirole decoy launchers. The sensor suite includes dual-band air and surface search-and-tracking radar, and electronic warfare suite, together with a fire-control system. The propulsion system is a Combined Diesel and Gas (CODAG) arrangement, with an electric motor on each of the two shafts with a controllable-pitch propeller (CPP) and conventional rudders. Due to a high level of automation, the PPA will require a crew of only 90, although will have capacity to embark up to 200 personnel. Integrated Logistic Support and In-Service Support The PPA Programme is conceived on a Through Life Management (TLM) approach. Integrated Logistic Support and Temporary Support are included in the Programme since the beginning. Status of the Programme In 2015, the PPA Programme was integrated into OCCAR and the contract became effective.

Since 2001 the management of the TIGER Programme has been under the responsibility of OCCAR. ES joined the Programme in 2004 and AU was integrated as an export customer with the status of an observer Nation into the TIGER community in 2009. With 113 helicopters (HAP, UHT, HAD-F and HAD-E) already delivered to Nations and a fully combat proven weapon system, TIGER has fully entered the In-Service phase. Indeed, after reaching its operational readiness in 2008, TIGER has been deployed by FR, DE and ES and used in several missions in Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia and Mali. During these operations, TIGER proved its precise and versatile combat capabilities and demonstrated remarkable deployment flexibility, not only from land but also in challenging weather and naval conditions. Originally 184 aircraft had been ordered by the Participating States. Pursuant to the decisions of DE, FR and ES to reduce and adapt their fleet, the new breakdowns are as follows: 68 UHT for DE, 60 HAD for FR (24 HAD + 36 of the 40 HAP versions retrofitted to HAD), 18 HAD and 6 HAP for ES. Key targets have OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-37 TIGER © OCCAR-EA © AIRBUS HELICOPTERS The TIGER Programme continuously evolves in order to face future challenges. In 2016 the MK II project will start for FR to upgrade the HAD version until 2023. Furthermore, the four Nations are discussing the technical perimeter of a major mid-life upgrade (MK III). A MK III architecture study was launched in July 2015. The entry of new Nations into the TIGER Programme also offers new opportunities for the future.

Programme Management Only two years after the Programme Decision of FR and DE in 2007 to commonly manage their ISS tasks, ES was integrated by signing the related ISS TProgD. Since then the TIGER has been managed following a Through Life Management approach, enabling OCCAR to define during the Development phase and also for midlife upgrades the support concepts which are most suitable for a cost efficient management of the TIGER. Knowing that the ISS phase of a defence system is its longest and costliest phase, OCCAR’s main target is to minimise the life cycle costs. The use of common support to a large extent and the previous development being based on a common platform is helping OCCAR to manage the ISS phase in a cost efficient way. P-38 4.2 Current Programmes in Integration Multinational Multirole Tanker Transport Aircraft Fleet (MMF) Within the Air-to-Air Refuelling Initiative of the European Defence Agency (EDA) several Nations have agreed to co-operate in a multinational Programme. The Multinational Multirole Tanker – Transport aircraft Fleet to be acquired will provide additional tanker and transport aircraft capability in Europe. to Airbus Defence and Space in June 2015 and the MMF Acquisition Contract is expected to be signed in 2016. This contract will cover the acquisition of the aircraft (3 firm aircraft and options for up to 5 additional) and a 2-year initial In-Service Support. First aircraft delivery is planned for 2019. OCCAR-EA is currently managing the Acquisition Phase of the aircraft on behalf of the NATO Support and Procurement Organisation (NSPO). NSPA, as the executive agency of the NSPO, will then manage their Operation and Sustainment. The management of the MMF Acquisition Phase by OCCAR-EA on behalf of NSPO is performed through a Cooperation Agreement between OCCAR and NSPO. OCCAR-EA issued a Request for Proposal 4. Programme Management European Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (European MALE RPAS) MALE RPAS capability will facilitate international conflict prevention and crisis management during all mission phases of an operation. MALE RPAS will be operated worldwide, both in National and in coalition contexts, to especially support ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) missions. On 24 November 2015, the OCCAR Member States agreed to assign the European MALE RPAS Programme to OCCAR-EA for management purposes, for the benefit of France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The first step of the Programme is a two-year Definition Study to define the baseline specifications/design for the future MALE RPAS. The design-to-cost activity will provide the basis for full development, affordable to the Participating States, but maximising operational performance. The Definition Study includes both a System Requirement Review (SRR) and a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) as its second major milestones. The PDA will demonstrate the quality and fitness for purpose of the proposed design. This will give the Participating States full confidence that the full Development Programme can be launched with acceptable residual risks. “Air Traffic Integration” certification of the MALE RPAS is a key objective of the Programme, and this represents a significant challange. Preparation for the next steps (Development and Production Stages) will be part of the MALE RPAS Programme Division activities during the second year of the Definition Study. This will be performed in close cooperation with Nations. MALE RPAS is a major long-term business opportunity for OCCAR. Participating States OCCAR Business Plan 2016 P-39 4.3 International Partner Organisations European Defence Agency (EDA) The co-operative relationship covering this complementary approach was formally established in July 2012 on the basis of an Administrative Arrangement between OCCAR and EDA. More details were agreed in the “EDA-OCCAR Interface Model” which was reviewed in 2015. EDA Chief Executive and OCCAR Director, Signature of EDA-OCCAR-EA Interface Document Issue 2 © OCCAR-EA The following current activities are being performed on the basis of the OCCAR-EDA cooperation: The Multinational Multirole Tanker Transport Aircraft Fleet (MMF) Project has evolved from the EDA Initiative on Air-to-Air Refuelling. Regarding the ESSOR Programme Operational Capability 1, OCCAR and EDA plan to sign an Implementing Arrangement under which EDA will promote the ESSOR products, in particular the waveform and architecture to create a Europe-wide user community. 4. Programme Management The EDA plays an important role in the development of future European Defence Capabilities including the promotion of cooperative armament Programmes amongst its participating Member States. OCCAR’s mission is the management of Cooperative Armament Programmes. Against this background, OCCAR and EDA consider each other as privileged partners in the domain of co-operative European Defence Capability Development. EDA is positioned “upstream” to initiate and prepare cooperative armament Programmes in the Preparation phase while “downstream” OCCAR can implement and manage these Programmes in the follow-on phases (e.g. Definition, Development, Production, In-Service). EDA and OCCAR aim at managing common Programmes on a TLM basis. Support to OCCAR managed Programmes by EDA is also possible. NATO Support and Procurement Organisation/Agency (NSPO/NSPA) OCCAR recognises NSPO as a valuable partner for support to certain OCCAR managed defence systems in their In-Service phase. To this end, a framework Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NSPO (NAMSO at the time) and OCCAR was signed in 2005. For the specific support to individual Programmes, Service Level Agreements are established between OCCAR and NSPO. This is currently the case for the A400M, COBRA and TIGER Programmes. Tanker Transport Aircraft Fleet (MMF) Project was signed by OCCAR and NSPO on 21 November 2014. Under this agreement OCCAR is managing the MMF Acquisition Phase for the Netherlands, Norway and Poland within the framework of an NSPO Support Partnership and the NSPA will be responsible for the Follow-on Support (FOS) and Operations Phase. This special cooperation will provide an additional tanker/ transport aircraft capability in Europe. Whereas OCCAR-EA retains the overall Programme Management responsibility for the In-Service phase of these Programmes, NSPA performs Material Support Activities for OCCAR-EA in the areas of Spares Procurement, Spares Management, Warehousing, Depot Level Maintenance contracts and transportation.
