Abstract
French Spatial Military Policy and European Coopération, by Jérôme Paolini When political, industrial and economie requirements seem to promote military uses of outer space as a promising field for European security cooperation, France is today undertaking, unilaterally, major programs in this field that has become essential for the continuity of French defense policy. Recent but unfruitfull endeavours in joint European military space programs reveal in fact profound divergences between potential partners. In particular, emerging complementarities between stratégie forces and military space Systems are building up for France a symetry between nuclear independence and autonomous information gathering means from space that other nations in the European context ignore. A realistic evolution of European cooperation in the military exploitation of outer space should take into account this French specificity.
