Germany Aims to Lead European Military Aviation Technology Development (opex360.com)

• Germany to unveil aerospace strategy at ILA Berlin on June 10.
• Strategy seeks German leadership in European military aviation R&D.
• SCAF program deadlocked: Dassault vs. Airbus over NGF leadership.

"Germany plans to unveil a new aerospace strategy at the ILA Berlin air show on June 10, asserting its ambition to become Europe's leader in advanced military aviation technologies. This move escalates tensions within the SCAF/FCAS program, as Dassault Aviation demands full leadership of the New Generation Fighter (NGF), while Airbus insists on an equal partnership. Mediation has failed. The strategy prioritizes secure communications, sensors, avionics, and propulsion technologies, but Germany lacks independent engine capabilities."
