What this report covers
Technologies: Additive Manufacturing & Critical Supply Chains. A sourced, structured 21-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.
About this report
NATO’s new transatlantic coproduction initiatives promise to expand defence output, shorten supply chains and establish additional manufacturing and sustainment capacity in Europe. Yet the physical location of production does not determine whether a capability is sovereign.
European factories may remain dependent on foreign intellectual property, source code, export licences, certification authority, maintenance data, critical components and political approvals.
