Background & Context
The CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag in the Bundestag plans to call for a major expansion of German defense and space technology at its summer retreat. A draft resolution provides that the Bundeswehr, Germany's armed forces, is to maintain more than 100,000 drones of various size classes.
In addition, the CSU is calling for a military space fleet with more than 1,000 satellites for communications, reconnaissance, and situational imagery. Civilian activities in space are also to be expanded, including laboratories where medications could be manufactured or researched under conditions of weightlessness.
These initiatives are political demands from a draft resolution. They have not been adopted by either the federal government or the Bundestag.
Financing, timeline, and technical implementation remain open.
