EU plans to shift European arms industry to war economy mode - Militarnyi

Europe’s defence industry is not simply expanding — it is transforming. What was once a fragmented and often marginal sector is now being reshaped by a continent-wide industrial reorientation, as civilian firms pivot to meet the demands of a new security era. From automotive plants repurposed for armored vehicles to high-tech startups adapting AI and robotics for military applications, the boundaries between civil and defence production are rapidly dissolving.

This report, available exclusively to DFM subscribers, offers the first comprehensive, data-driven mapping of Europe’s civil-to-military industrial conversion. It draws on official EU and NATO documents, corporate disclosures, and expert analyses to present a clear picture of what is unfolding — and what it means for investors, companies, and national economies. For decision-makers navigating the intersection of strategic autonomy, technological disruption, and industrial opportunity, this is not background reading. It is essential intelligence.

Subscribing to DFM gives you access to detailed reports like this one, designed to support capital allocation, strategic positioning, and industrial foresight. Whether you are evaluating entry points into dual-use markets, assessing workforce trends, or tracking policy shifts across Europe, DFM equips you with the clarity, depth, and precision needed to act.

This is not just about defence — it is about understanding where Europe’s industrial future is heading. Read the full report on DFM.
