Germany Plans Independent Missile-Warning Satellites to Break Free From U.S. Defense Grip
TL;DR Summary
Germany unveiled a sovereign missile-detection satellite program to autonomously detect and track long-range launches, feeding data directly to national command as part of a €35 billion space investment through 2030 and in coordination with France's JEWEL platform; the plan seeks strategic autonomy from U.S.-controlled NATO systems, while ESA involvement remains undecided and details are sparse, potentially straining transatlantic defense ties ahead of the 2026 U.S. elections.
