The agreement, signed on 12 February 2025, aims to maintain the Bundeswehr’s operational readiness by securing a steady supply of these essential combat systems over the coming years. The procurement deal will enable Germany’s armed forces to reinforce their capabilities in dismounted combat with effective and reliable weaponry.
DND has emphasised that the framework agreement brings stability and security for both the company and the German military. It allows the defence industry to sustain essential production capacities while ensuring the availability of required materials.
The contract is expected to provide flexibility in procurement while maintaining a steady supply chain for Germany’s military needs. According to DND and the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), this approach strengthens both strategic planning and adaptability in meeting defence requirements.
