The initiative builds upon the 2024 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with the center primarily operating in Germany and extending its activities to other European countries. This partnership underscores the commitment of both companies to contribute to Europe's defense infrastructure.

Awaiting Government Approval

The finalization of this deal is contingent upon the approval of the governments of Germany and the United States, marking a critical step towards its implementation.
