João Anes warned about the continuity of the terrorist threat in the global jihad dimension, referring specifically to Al-Qaeda as the personification of this threat. His statements were made in the context of an analysis on international terrorism risks.

The expert also warned about the geographical mutation of the terrorist gravity center, suggesting a displacement or transformation in the way extremist groups operate and are distributed geographically.

Furthermore, João Anes referred to the influence of groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood on the European continent, indicating that the presence and activities of these movements in European space constitute a concern in the context of continental security.

Beja receives first space military exercise held in Portugal

Base Aérea N.º 11 in Beja hosted the first military exercise dedicated to space operations held in Portugal. The Space EX26 took place between September 7 and 11, organized by the Portuguese Air Force, bringing together military personnel and specialists from Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands, the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as NATO representation. Over five days, areas such as orbital surveillance, space data management, command and control and operational coordination were worked on, with the aim of strengthening multinational cooperation and interoperability of systems between allies. The exercise also included the participation of space sector companies, such as Neuraspace, GEOSAT and ICEYE Portugal, who visited the base during the Distinguished Visitors Day. The choice of Beja is due to the fact that BA11 already has space observation capabilities, including an optical telescope from Neuraspace, positioning the base as a new operational training hub in the space domain for the Portuguese Armed Forces.
