Europe shifts to space defense focused on resilience and sovereignty

At the Defence in Space event in London, officials from Anduril, the UK MoD, US European Command and the Bundeswehr outlined new approaches to space defense: resilience, sovereignty and assured services. Germany admitted its procurement is too slow and is moving to a "70% solution now over 100% in 2035" model, planning hundreds of satellites.

• Anduril: space control matters more than resilience for credible deterrence
• Bundeswehr: old procurement would take 10–12 years, now prioritizing speed
• US: no single system is resilient, a layered system of systems is needed
• Germany is building hundreds of satellites and working with Iceye on data
