Key questions this report answers
- What are the three EU review layers (Foreign Subsidies Regulation, EU FDI screening, outbound investment monitoring) that a defence M&A deal may trigger simultaneously?

- What deal consequences follow from the comparative perimeter across defence, dual-use, cyber, space, AI, quantum and semiconductors?
- What compliance implications and strategic-dependency risks does the triple-layer regime create for defence investors?
