Announced late last year, it carries an expected price tag of \u20ac96.6 million, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu\/system\/files\/2023-06\/ODINS%27EYE%20II-Factsheet_EDF22.pdf\">fact sheet<\/a> posted on the EU website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU-level funding comes out of the European Defence Fund, with some additional, direct contributions from participating governments. Norway, although not an EU member, is also involved in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The satellite system is meant to enhance European countries\u2019 capabilities in the areas of timely warning, technical intelligence, proliferation control and missile defense. It specifically seeks to detect and track ballistic, hypersonic and anti-satellite weapons, according to the grant fact sheet and an OHB\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several of the company\u2019s subsidiaries are also part of the consortium. OHB Hellas, a Greek-based outfit, and Digital Connect, based in Mainz, Germany, are responsible for the ground segment, data analysis and on-board processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu\/system\/files\/2023-06\/ODINS%27EYE%20II-Factsheet_EDF22.pdf\">coalition of companies<\/a> from across the continent also includes several giants of the European defense industry, including Airbus, the Ariane Group, Leonardo and Thales<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to OHB, Odin\u2019s Eye will serve as a pillar of the French-led, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/06\/20\/mbda-renews-case-for-building-europes-first-hypersonic-interceptor\/\">European TWISTER project<\/a>. Twister hopes to track space threats \u201cthrough a combination of enhanced capabilities for space-based early warning and endo-atmospheric interceptors,\u201d according to that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pesco.europa.eu\/project\/timely-warning-and-interception-with-space-based-theater-surveillance-twister\/\">project\u2019s official description<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEurope\u2019s sovereignty and defense capability will also be decided in space, and a dedicated early warning capability is essential in regard of the current geopolitical state of the world,\u201d said Sabine von der Recke, the responsible board member at OHB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company was unable to provide further information on the program\u2019s timing and mission specifics by press time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, the European Union has embarked on a push to enhance its space-based surveillance abilities. Aside from Odin\u2019s Eye and Twister, in 2021 it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ariane.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ArianeGroup-SSA-EN-1.pdf\">funded<\/a> the Ariane Group-led <a

awareness, and the Vitrociset-led <a href=\"https:\/\/defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu\/system\/files\/2021-06\/EDIDP2020_factsheet_SSAEW_SC2_INTEGRAL.pdf\">Integral<\/a>, which dealt primarily
