The framework agreement ensures the Bundeswehr can procure ERA modules swiftly and flexibly to maintain the readiness of the Puma fleet during crises or operational deployments. This strategic move aligns with Germany’s commitment to strengthening its military capabilities amid evolving security challenges.
DND emphasised the Bundeswehr’s confidence in ERA technology, which integrates passive, reactive, and active protection measures for land platforms. The agreement not only highlights the importance of ERA as a future-proof solution but also provides long-term stability for the industry to scale production capacity effectively.
