Germany accelerates military space buildout, signing ILA MoUs for missile-warning and next-gen intelligence constellations

At ILA Berlin, partners include Spire Global and Diehl Defence for space-based early warning and Rafael Advanced Combat Systems with Reflex Aerospace for a new high-frequency, very high-resolution intelligence constellation.
