The German Bundeswehr has announced that it is studying how Ukraine’s digital battlefield system, Delta, can be utilized within its own framework. This assessment was shared by Sven Weizenegger, head of the German military’s Cyber Innovation Hub, during the New Age Defense conference in Berlin.
Weizenegger said he had ordered the examination of Delta and that the process would reveal whether the system is operationally viable. He emphasized that the German military aims to learn from Ukraine’s experience in this field.
Technology Cooperation Talks Between Germany and Ukraine
Weizenegger explained that concrete areas of collaboration are being discussed between the German Cyber Innovation Hub and Ukraine’s defense innovation cluster, Brave1. The parties are reportedly talking about joint projects and potential areas of cooperation.
He noted that the German side has asked Ukraine about companies capable of solving specific problems, while Ukraine can select projects that interest them. This indicates a mutual technology matching effort between the two sides.
Germany Discusses Innovation Pressure Accelerated by the War
According to Weizenegger, one of the main lessons Germany has drawn from the Ukraine war is the urgent need to accelerate innovation in defense. However, he pointed out that since Germany is not at war, this acceleration must be achieved under peacetime conditions.
Weizenegger also stated that the German military is working to reduce bureaucratic obstacles that slow down innovation processes, aiming to approach the speed of Ukraine’s operations. Efforts are underway to establish the necessary legal frameworks and tools for this purpose.
It was previously reported that Ukraine and Germany signed an agreement to share digital battlefield data to develop new weapon systems. The examination of the Delta system signals an expansion of this cooperation into the realms of technology and defense data.
