  • Fits a wider European and transatlantic trend to onshore and expand UAS production and sovereign supply chains for defence use, following recent large-scale Bundeswehr ISR procurement and private-sector reshoring and ramp-ups in drone manufacturing [source:8fc77c2d-3070-4018-8783-a6a8fae2ec34] [source:41467798-d522-4591-8e67-9081205a0cac] [source:e6035209-4795-46b0-8d66-82dea20a4a5e].
