Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
3 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 3 are listed.
- Goal greatest impact by 2035: Positioning, navigation and timing without satellite navigation is ranked first by impact, ahead of biology and medicine, sensing and testing, exploration and electromagnetic spectrum operations.
- Milestone 2030 KPI: At least 15 operational use cases across navigation, geophysics, defence and infrastructure.
- Milestone by December 2026: An expert group supports a roadmap for a Quantum Space Gravimetry mission, with recommendations on an in-orbit demonstrator or pathfinder, by December 2026.

Capabilities on public record
From the supplier directory: each capability with its strongest evidence. A contract, a documented product, a product line or software shows supply; an EU-funded project or a confirmed technology area shows research activity. Not an endorsement or a qualification.
