What you'll learn
- European missile defence capabilities increasingly depend on complex, multi-layered industrial ecosystems in which sovereignty at the system-integration level coexists with dependence at upstream technological and material layers.
- While Europe has strengthened its position in the design, integration, and deployment of air and missile defence systems, there is growing concern that critical vulnerabilities persist in areas that are not immediately visible at prime-contractor level.
