The German Bundeswehr has announced that it is examining how Ukraine’s digital battlefield system, Delta, could be integrated into its own structure. Sven Weizenegger, head of the German army’s Cyber Innovation Hub, made this statement during the New Age Defense conference in Berlin.
Weizenegger said he had given instructions to study 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 cooperation were being discussed between the German Cyber Innovation Hub and Ukraine’s defense innovation cluster Brave1. The parties talked about joint projects and potential areas of collaboration.
He added that the German side asked Ukraine about companies capable of solving specific problems, while Ukraine could select projects of interest to them. This indicated 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 noted 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. He mentioned ongoing efforts to establish the necessary legal frameworks and tools for this purpose.
Previously, it was 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.
