From "procure-to-budget" to "procure-to-capability" – A fundamental shift in German defence procurement policy

  • Call for European nations to uphold and increase their commitments towards NATO
  • Renewed pledges to meet/increase defence spending targets and contribute to collective security efforts

Munich Security Conference Dispute in the White House ReArm Europe Zeitenwende 2.0

"There is a new sheriff in town" "What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about?"

  • Dispute triggered a broader shift towards greater self-reliance and strategic autonomy in European defence policy
  • EU-members strongly reinforced their commitment for continued support of Ukraine (e.g. EUR 3 bn additional funding from Germany)

"This is a moment for Europe. And we are ready to step up." "Whatever it takes"

  • EU intends to mobilize up to EUR 800 bn for defence and security
  • Activation of national escape clause
  • EUR 150 billion of loans to Member States for defence investment
  • Direct more EU-budget towards defence-related investments

• German constitution changed to allow for multi-billion Euro financing package for defence and infrastructure

  • Defence spending above 1% GDP exempt from debt brake restrictions
  • In theory, no limit to defence spending
  • Defence procurement and spending driven by NATO capability goals

High visibility on additional orders end of 2025

First orders expected in 2026 with revenue following in 2027

HENSOLDT well positioned for near and mid-term procurement programs

Lessons learned in Ukraine Upcoming NATO force goals German procurement priorities
Extensive use of uncrewed systems
by ground combat forces
Collective defence against a
nuclear-armed peer adversary
Air Defence
Long-range firepower and
precision-guided munitions
NATO forces need to be larger,
better protected
and have more firepower
Prioritize equipment for
German brigade in Lithuania
Small but lethal manoeuvre units NATO must prevail in all five domains:
land, air, sea, cyber and space
Electromagnetic warfare, cyber,
software-defined defence, AI, cloud
Integrated air and missile defence NATO forces should be capable to
fight effectively for an extended period
Uncrewed system
(reconnaissance and combat)
Integrated, digital ISR and C2 networks
and hybrid warfare
No more clear distinction between
cyber, hybrid and conventional operations
Space-based reconnaissance
and communications
Large-scale logistics operations The Alliance must be prepared
for nuclear coercion
Hypersonics

HENSOLDT has the strategy, products, technologies and operational capacities to play a major role in upcoming German and EU procurement programs

Our ambition to pioneer Software-Defined Defence is anchored in our product portfolio and follows a clear roadmap

1. Our products are already software-defined 2. Upcoming programs have high SDD-content 3. R&D paves the way for new business models

High-performance hardware forms the basis to add functionality via software (e.g. weapon location for TRML-4D)

HENSOLDT will play a central role in near-term largescale SDD projects like the digital battlefield and new reconnaissance vehicle of the Bundeswehr

An increasingly software and data-centric portfolio positions HENSOLDT as a relevant SDD player

HENSOLDT and Quantum Systems forge strategic partnership to drive innovation in Software-Defined Defence and Drone Systems
