Die Reform der Rüstungsbeschaffung

Due to the duration of military procurements, it is economically necessary to streamline the Bundeswehr’s procurement process. It seems sensible to standardise armaments planning and procurement under the political leadership of the Federal Ministry of Defence, while the downstream procurement and operational processes should be organised on a market economy basis. This will ensure that the economic requirements for the public good of “external security” can be met in the long term.
