Defense and Security
Germany, Europe and the whole Western world are facing new security-policy challenges. Terrorism, non-governmental power and asymmetric warfare are threats to peace.

Civil security precaution requires innovative products and solutions to protect people. The defense technology sector of the German aerospace industry is a partner in security policy as a whole. It is no longer just about satisfying the needs of modern armed forces.

The industry actively contributes to ensuring our country’s security now and in the future. Standing shoulder to shoulder with research and science, the industry closely cooperates with the politicians in charge.

However, Germany’s defense technology industry needs continuous support from contracting authorities should jobs and the industry’s unique know-how be safeguarded in Germany. The BDLI backs this approach.
