About this report
Permanent readiness is not a slogan — it is becoming a structural requirement across NATO and EU defence planning. This analysis explains why. It examines the institutional foundations of the shift, the strategic logic behind it, and the industrial consequences that follow.
Readers will find no speculative scenarios, only documented transitions already underway in communiqués, planning directives, and multi-year programmes. For professionals navigating the evolving defence-industrial landscape, this report offers a grounded understanding of what readiness now means — and how it will shape strategic demand and market positioning in the years ahead. Available in full to DFM subscribers.
