We curate most relevant posts about Defense Tech on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition offers a comprehensive look at the accelerating landscape of European and global defence technology and strategy, with a strong emphasis on innovation, cooperation, and urgent readiness. Several posts highlight the critical need for Europe to overcome fragmentation in its industrial base and harmonise military requirements to achieve economies of scale and strategic autonomy. A major theme is the rise of unmanned systems and artificial intelligence (AI), seen through the introduction of new autonomous platforms like the S-70UAS U-Hawk and the need for proactive counter-drone capabilities, which are currently hampered by outdated legal frameworks. Finally, the texts discuss significant procurement and partnership milestones, including major F-35 and Eurofighter agreements, and the structural shift in Venture Capital funding towards dual-use defence tech startups.
