Rheinmetall and OHB consider a Starlink-equivalent military satellite network for the Bundeswehr

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
Rheinmetall and OHB are exploring a military satellite network for the Bundeswehr, aiming to capture part of Germany's €35bn military space budget. The project, still in preliminary stages, seeks to create low-Earth-orbit satellites tailored for the Bundeswehr, enhancing battlefield connectivity akin to Starlink's support for Ukraine. This initiative aligns with Germany's goal to bolster its strategic autonomy in defense and space, positioning OHB amid industry consolidation and diversifying Rheinmetall's focus beyond armoured vehicles.
