According to information published by the European Union on May 27, 2025, EU Member States have officially endorsed 11 new collaborative defense initiatives under the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) framework. Among these, the “Directed Energy Systems” project, spearheaded by Italy with the participation of Spain, stands out as a groundbreaking development in next-generation air defense. This initiative aims to deliver a modular and scalable Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) system designed for integration on mobile platforms, targeting the enhancement of short and very short-range air and missile defense capabilities, SHORAD (SHort Range Air Defense) and VSHORAD (Very SHort Range Air Defense).
