Wahlperiode 22.08.2019 Antwort der Bundesregierung auf die Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Sevim Dağdelen, Heike Hänsel, Christine Buchholz, weiterer Abgeordneter und der Fraktion DIE LINKE. – Drucksache 19/11721 – Rheinmetall als Großlieferant der Bundeswehr und größtes Rüstungsunternehmen mit Sitz in Deutschland Vorbemerkung der Fragesteller Von den im Verteidigungshaushalt 2018 getätigten Ausgaben von rund 38,88 Mrd. Euro wurden rund 5,75 Mrd. Euro für Rüstungsinvestitionen (For- schung, Entwicklung und Erprobung sowie militärische Beschaffungen) ver- ausgabt. Davon waren 4,78 Mrd. Euro für militärische Beschaffungen und ca. 1 Mrd. Euro für Forschung, Entwicklung, Erprobung ausgegeben (9. Bericht des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung – BMVg – zu Rüstungsangelegen- heiten, Teil 1, Berlin, Juni 2019, S. 7). Im Vergleich zum Haushaltssoll 2018 wurde der Verteidigungsetat 2019 um rund 4,7 Mrd. Euro auf rund 43,2 Mrd. Euro erhöht. Für rüstungsinvestive Ausgaben sind insgesamt rund 8,3 Mrd. Euro veranschlagt (9. Bericht des BMVg, Teil 1, Berlin, Juni 2019, S. 57).

  • Tracked Or Wheeled? Denmark Deliberates Over New APC
    Tracked or wheeled? Denmark deliberates over new APC September 2012 The old argument rears its head again as Denmark looks to award a key procurement contract, while some of the competing manufacturers look to gain an edge by showcasing their solutions for the Nordic military in Oslo… Eight international defence companies are in the running to win potential contracts to meet Denmark’s newly announced requirement for a brand new armoured personnel carrier fleet. The Danish Ministry of Defence has made the call out for the companies to submit bids for an estimated 360 vehicles to help replace the Army’s mechanised capability previously dominated by the ageing M113 fleet, which is already being phased out with the country’s CV90 variant. As yet, the Army cannot decide on whether the vehicle should run on tracks or wheels, and has decided to find a solution by pitting the competition against four specialist suppliers from each side of the spectrum, all of whom qualified for consideration through an evaluation process at the start of the year. Previous tests by other militaries to ascertain the merits and shortfalls of either type have yet to show any definitive benefit of choosing one over the other when vehicles are required for a variety of missions and environments. 1 Recognising that budget constraints are still of highest consideration for most European nations, the answer may fall into the strategic realm, relying on whether the Danes believe themselves to need an all-terrain/all-weather fleet, or whether they will streamline for specialist

  • Rheinmetall to Supply Ammunition and Accessories for Bundeswehr's
    04 May 2016 Rheinmetall to supply ammunition and accessories for Bundeswehr’s Puma infantry fighting vehicle In the ongoing process of integrating the Puma infantry fighting vehicle into the German armed forces, Rheinmetall has recently booked a series of orders from Germany’s Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In- Service Support (BAAINBw). Besides production and delivery of 10,000 rounds of 30mm x 173 calibre armour-piercing ammunition, the Bundeswehr has contracted with Rheinmetall to modify a system gun rest, and to supply it with special tools and spare parts. The orders, placed from February to April, are worth over €12 million in total. Rheinmetall’s Oberndorf unit is in charge of these projects. The former Mauser plant is the birthplace of the Puma’s newly developed main armament, the 30mm MK30- 2/ABM automatic cannon. The accompanying array of ammunition includes programmable rounds, enabling the Puma to successfully engage a wide spectrum of targets. Now being fielded by the Bundeswehr, the Puma IFV provides Germany’s mechanized infantry forces with a new principal weapons system, one that represents a whole new dimension in international armoured vehicle design. Setting new standards in every relevant capabilities category, the Puma lends itself to a multitude of operational scenarios and can be deployed in all climate zones. Delivery of the 350 IFVs ordered by the Bundeswehr will be complete by 2020. Rheinmetall Defence produces an exceptionally wide range of weapons and munitions – from medium- and large-calibre products to infantry ammunition, and from pyrotechnics to warheads and propulsion technology for missiles and torpedoes.

On December 3, 2004, EADS Defense Electronics received a €70 million ($102.9 million or £52.2 million) contract to provide the Bundeswehr with 196 IdZ individual soldier equipment. These basic systems are envisaged for use by around 2,000 German soldiers from all services. More systems of the enhanced version will be delivered between 2010 and 2014. The IdZ system covers self-protection against small caliber arms and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical agents, communications, navigation/ orientation and weaponry. The system utilizes a wide range of new technologies to achieve network-centric warfare capability. EADS Defense Electronics is leading the Projekthaus System Soldat (PSS) industrial consortium, working with the Bundeswehr to define the Infantries der Zukunft (IdZ) Infantryman of the Future system. The individual infantryman is equipped with a bullet-proof vest, nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection, night vision equipment, digital navigation and communication, tactical speech and data communication and a new range of weapons. IdZ prototype ESB version The German Army carried out a five-month trial of the ESB-prototype IdZ systems at Prizren in Kosovo during 2002 (ESB = Einsatzbedingter Sofortbedarf, German for "urgent operational requirement"). Two prototype IdZ Squad systems, together with additional squad weapons and sighting systems, were used in the trials. Germany's Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement awarded EADS Defense Electronics a €10 million contract for the supply of 150 ESB Lot 3 sets (15 sets, each set for ten soldiers) of the IdZ Infantryman of the Future systems.
