Space, security and defenceActivities and resources Page contents Page contents Overview The JRC's work underpins policies to protect the EU's land, seas, airspace and cyberspace. It provides critical expertise and tools to bolster Europe's space security, and explores the intersections between climate change, energy, and defence. From tackling the rising risk posed by civil drones to employing space technologies for disaster prevention, the JRC takes a future-forward approach to supporting Member States in protecting their citizens, infrastructure and assets.
