The collaboration between the two major DAX-listed firms aims to create an integrated shield against remotely operated drones.

Deutsche Telekom and Rheinmetall are jointly developing drone defense technology to create an integrated shield against unmanned aerial systems. The partnership represents a major German investment in counter-drone capabilities driven by security concerns from the Ukraine conflict and evolving European defense needs.
