DARPA helps drives technological progress in the US forward. If the EU wants to create a similar agency, key changes will be needed.

You’re missing my point. I even stated that the block would benefit from a concentration of military development instead of each nation’s own industries with occasional transnational cooperative projects.
My point is that I don’t want to simply replicate the U.S. american.military industrial complex and focus more on civilian issues first. Military must stay a means of defense, not a means in andof itself as I often have the impression of the U.S. military is.
The US defence industry does pretty well though, given that it makes the world’s best military hardware. Although of course Boeing has had problems in recent years so I guess it’s not all great.
But yeah military and civilian benefits would of course both be good, I’m just saying that military research has produced stuff that also has civilian benefits.
