Space-Based Shield: Spire Global and Diehl Defence Partner to Build European Missile Warning Network
Spire Global and Diehl Defence signed an MoU at the ILA Berlin Air Show to develop a space‑based early‑warning network that will feed missile‑tracking data from Spire’s low‑Earth‑orbit small‑satellite constellation into Diehl’s ground‑based air‑defense systems. The partnership leverages Spire’s newly opened Munich manufacturing plant, capable of producing up to 100 satellites per year, to create a European‑sovereign supply chain that sidesteps U.S. ITAR restrictions. By adapting commercial RF‑sensing satellites for ballistic and hypersonic missile detection, the duo aims to provide rapid‑revisit, high‑fidelity data traditionally reserved for multi‑billion‑dollar government satellites. Analysts view the deal as a catalyst for faster, more flexible defense acquisition across Europe.
