About this report
The digital transformation of Europe’s armed forces represents a structural shift in defence capability development, with profound implications for industrial investment and technological sovereignty. From battlefield cloud computing to secure multi-domain command architectures, the convergence of cybersecurity, AI, and software-defined communications is reshaping procurement priorities and long-term military planning.
EU and NATO member states are accelerating national and joint programmes—such as France’s ARTEMIS.IA, Germany’s D-LBO, Italy’s MILSCA, and Poland’s C4ISR upgrade—with increasing reliance on private-sector innovation and advanced dual-use technologies.
