“Think networked and act securely as the answer of a whole-of-government defense” – under this motto stands the brand-new IT-Report 2026, published in time for AFCEA 2026. In a world that is changing dramatically, the digital transformation of our security architecture is no longer a “nice-to-have,” but the prerequisite for our ability to act.
The magazine offers exclusive insights into the defence-tech strategies of tomorrow across more than 100 pages. Here are the highlights you should not miss:
🔹 Innovation as a core task: Learn in the interview with Lieutenant General Michael Vetter how the Bundeswehr firmly anchors innovation in capability development and uses the new Innovation Center in Erding as an enabler.
🔹 Artificial intelligence at the “sharp end”: From AI-assisted combat environments to the responsible use of AI in CBRN defense and the rescue chain.
🔹 Whole-of-government leadership capability: Projects like the TerrHub show how an interagency situational picture revolutionizes collaboration between military, authorities, and industry in crises.
🔹 Unmanned systems & Cloud: Whether the “Digital Ghost Fleet,” crewless land systems, or the “Cloud only!” strategy – the technological building blocks for Multi-Domain Operations are taking shape.
🔹 Cyber resilience: How we will build a resilient cyber ecosystem by 2030 that integrates state and civilian actors.
Why you should read this report? It brings together the expertise of military leaders with the innovative solutions of leading industrial partners.
