  • The new optronics campus in Oberkochen was opened by Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius just over a week before Özdemir’s visit and is intended to accommodate 900 employees.

  • Hensoldt announced 1,600 hires for 2026, while the optronics division’s order intake rose from 164 million to 971 million euros in the first half and the group’s order backlog exceeded 10 billion euros.

  • Özdemir called for the state to place greater trust in domestic companies and act as an anchor customer for German or European defense technology.

  • Hensoldt is linking sensors, software and artificial intelligence to analyze data more quickly and detect drones, while Özdemir also sees applications for protecting critical infrastructure.
    • It is no longer just about defending the country against attacks from abroad, but about defending it from within: electricity, water, and health infrastructure. I cannot even imagine what that would mean for the vulnerability of our country.
    — Cem Özdemir, Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg, on defense and infrastructure security (during a visit to Hensoldt in Oberkochen).
