Safran Electronics & Defense and Rheinmetall Electronics have signed a new framework agreement at DSEI London, strengthening their long-term collaboration in the defense sector. The contract streamlines procurement processes and supports future joint projects.
With this agreement, Rheinmetall Electronics and Safran Electronics & Defense will combine their expertise to deliver advanced technologies, including navigation systems for GNSS-denied environments, atomic clock timeservers, and cutting-edge vehicles and handheld optronics. The flexible framework allows both companies to manage upcoming orders quickly and adapt to evolving defense needs.
“With this strategic agreement, we are laying the foundation for a strong partnership that opens up new perspectives and enables us to drive innovation together, thus contributing to actively shape the future of our industry” pointed out Christian Martens from Rheinmetall’s Business Unit Defence Electronics.
Marzell Schiller, CEO of Safran Electronics & Defense Germany, added: “We’re excited to deepen our collaboration with Rheinmetall and introduce state-of-the-art solutions. This agreement reflects the trust between our teams and opens new possibilities for ambitious projects ahead.”
The new agreement simplifies logistics and administration, helping both companies focus on innovation and deliver high-value solutions to end users. Rheinmetall Electronics has already ordered navigation and timing products from Safran, such as Versasynch, taking advantage of the more efficient procurement enabled by the agreement.
This partnership supports France and Germany’s shared commitment to building a competitive and innovative European defense industry. By working together and pooling technological resources, Rheinmetall Electronics and Safran Electronics & Defense aim to support the development of a more competitive and autonomous European defense sector.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
