ESA End-to-End Technology Management The ESA End-to-End Technology Management Process: was implemented for the first time in 2005 and strengthened with lessons learned over the years; has as main objective to undertake well-planned, coordinated developments in answer to user requirements i.e. missions needs, industry competitiveness, nondependence to ensure technology readiness at the maturity level required at each stage by the users; aims at the coherent definition, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all technology R&D activities in the Agency, consistent with Technology Harmonisation conclusions; is being revisited (the revisit activities started in April 2014) Technology Planning 13/03/2015 Slide 16
ESA TECNET The ESA Technology Network (TECNET) is part of the End-to-End Technology Management Process; consists of nine groups of technology experts from ESA Technical and Programme Directorates; it was established to ensure an efficient running of the Process, which elaborates draft documents and proposals.

PRIORITISATION Technology Planning 13/03/2015 Slide 18
Recommendation 3 of the High Level Forum on technology priorities propose an overall decision process for defining with industry joint technology priorities Several levels of Industry involvement have been analysed: a) Prioritisation within the frame of the Harmonisation b) Prioritisation within ESA Programmes c) Prioritisation at high level across Programmes Technology Planning 13/03/2015 Slide 19
Prioritisation within Harmonisation (individual Technology Roadmaps) Harmonisation Roadmaps are comprehensive for technology addressed (50 technology areas) Activities within each Roadmap are prioritised (H, M, L) in terms of URGENCY and CRITICALITY, discussed with stakeholders No prioritisation across Roadmaps Since 2012, the prioritisation takes into account a reference budget figure, which is calculated based upon past funding on the technology area and projections and expectations for coming years. ESA encourages detailed input on priorities within the existing consultation with industry on Roadmaps Technology Planning 13/03/2015 Slide 20
Prioritisation within ESA Programmes ESA Executive builds draft plans, prioritising considering many aspects, including Harmonised Roadmaps Industry is consulted during the preparation of the ESA Technology Programmes (TRP, GSTP, ARTES5.1, ) There are several industry driven programmes with Technology content (ARTES 3-4, ARTES 5.2, GSTP 6.2, ) Final decision on priorities for funding within ESA Technology Programmes (investing institutional funding) remains competence of the appropriate ESA Delegate Bodies The expression of industry views in established processes is strongly encouraged Technology Planning 13/03/2015 Slide 21
High Level Prioritisation across Technologies and Programmes Agreement on common lists of top priority needs may be reached when focussing on specific objectives (e.g. EC-ESA-EDA JTF on Non- Dependence) ESA believes producing a single prioritised list of European Technologies to be developed, covering all needs of all stakeholders, unrealistic: applicable criteria and relative weighting often vary from Programme to Programme different programmes may have varying objectives (e.g. enable ESA missions, competitiveness, non-dependence, ) industry expresses priorities primarily on areas for commercial competitiveness (a part of the needs) Technology Planning 13/03/2015 Slide 22
