Lessons on Boosting Production from the German Defence-Industrial Strategy (Linus Terhorst, RUSI)

The German Security and Defence Industrial Strategy from December 2024 is a response to the war in Ukraine and the need to quickly equip the Bundeswehr to better standards and replenish its stockpiles. The strategy makes several proposals to achieve its objective of having a defence industry that can cope with ‘all challenges’ and that is ‘dynamic and scalable, responsive and resilient, competitive, innovative and adaptive’. These proposals warrant some attention, as boosting defence production is a pressing concern across Europe and the US.
