MUNICH, De. -- Helsing and Saab Germany are to equip the Eurofighter with a new electronic warfare system.

Helsing will supply the artificial intelligence. The two companies have signed a corresponding contract valued at a three-digit million Euro amount.

The contract stipulates that Helsing will deliver its AI-based software, Cirra, for electronic warfare. Over the next three years, Cirra will be integrated into Saab's Arexis sensor suite on the Eurofighter.

The Eurofighter is initially to be enabled as a standalone air capability. In the future it will also enhance the capability of other Luftwaffe combat aircraft through the collaborative sharing of data.

DUSSELDORF -- Rheinmetall has received a €61 million contract from the Bundeswehr to modernize the Army Combat Training Centre in Saxony-Anhalt and integrate it with Germany’s broader Digitalisation of Land-based Operations program.

The effort includes upgrading and expanding the site’s radio infrastructure, incorporating a new digital radio system, and adding a 5G broadband network. Data from the Bundeswehr’s battle management systems will be integrated into the centre’s command and control environment, supported by Tactical Core software from Rheinmetall subsidiary Blackned.

The work, booked in October 2025, begins this year and is scheduled for full completion in early 2028. Once finished, the upgrade will enhance multinational training, expand interoperability for NATO partners, and allow more comprehensive evaluation of exercises through unified digital command-and-control systems.

The project advances Germany’s multi-year effort to digitize its land forces and ensures that the country’s primary combat training centre can support modern command-and-control systems used across the Bundeswehr. By making the facility compatible with current and future digital architectures, the upgrade strengthens readiness, improves NATO interoperability, and accelerates Germany’s transition toward fully networked land operations
