The ENTRUSTED project, by means of the set-up of its unprecedented consortium representing a wide range of secure SatCom users, has already reached a first goal which will have an extremely positive impact with respect to the objectives set for this action. The establishment and maintenance of a network of already existing and/or aspiring governmental users will strengthen the cooperation and facilitate a common understanding on the matter. The consortium and its representing network is understood as a vast group of users who cooperate together to create a new value and that support each other in related activities, in line with the EU core values.
Below, each expected impact listed in the Work Programme is addressed by an extent of its fulfilment in the project: Common understanding of user needs, and potential for innovation, including interoperability, and standardisation in the use of secure satellite communications by EU and Member State users; Enhanced synergies in the uptake of secure governmental satellite communication solutions among users from different disciplines, backgrounds and Member States; More efficient use of investments made across the EU in demonstrating, testing and training governmental satellite communications users; Outputs from this project may benefit future EU programmes in this domain.
