🇪🇺 EUROPE
🔴 Defense & Security Tech Hits Record 10% of VC Funding

🪧 $5.2B in funding last year marks a 5x jump since 2019, fueled by NATO & government-backed investments.

🪧 Germany leads growth, with Munich & Berlin as top hubs—AI defense startup Helsing raised $487M.

🪧 Dual-use startups drive VC interest, reshaping Europe’s stance on defense innovation.

Согласно докладу Министерства обороны США о закупках военной техники на 2025 финансовый год, армия США планирует (armyrecognition.com/news/army-) закупить 689 самоходных гаубиц M109A7 калибра 155 мм до 2050 года в рамках масштабной программы модернизации артиллерии и поддерживать их в эксплуатации как минимум до этой даты. Эта модернизация связана с отказом от программы NLOS-C (Non-Line of Sight Cannon, программы замены M109) в 2009 году и необходимостью заполнить образовавшийся пробел в возможностях. M109A7, являясь частью программы Paladin Integrated Management (PIM), обеспечит поддержку бронированным и механизированным пехотным дивизиям в течение следующих нескольких десятилетий.

Ukraine will receive six more TRML-4D radar stations from the German company HENSOLDT by the end of 2024. These stations use advanced AESA radar technology to detect and classify various types of airborne targets, focusing on small, fast, and low-flying ones. They are capable of detecting and tracking around 1500 targets within a radius of up to 250 km. #Ukraine #DefenseTech

The UK Ministry of Defense is considering sending a prototype of a laser weapon called DragonFire to Ukraine. It is designed to shoot down drones and missiles with an invisible and silent laser beam. The system is powerful enough to intercept projectiles moving faster than ballistic missiles. The UK aims to deploy DragonFire by 2027 or even earlier to Ukraine. #Ukraine #DefenseTech
