Rheinmetall, Deutsche Telekom Push Drone Shield As Germany Hardens Infrastructure

Rheinmetall and Deutsche Telekom are jointly developing a defense shield to protect Germany's critical infrastructure from drones and sabotage. The planned partnership combines Rheinmetall's air-defense expertise with Deutsche Telekom's network and sensor capabilities. The companies intend to develop technologies including cybersecurity tools, physical perimeter security, sensors, air-defense systems, and data processing. This move comes as Germany hardens its infrastructure due to increased security concerns, including drone incidents and sabotage risks.
