Czech arms makers have thrived on demand linked to the war in Ukraine, and are now setting their sights on space defence to sustain their growth, according to a report. To keep expanding, they need to look beyond ammunition and toward new technologies, including space-based systems. The shift reflects how European defence industries are broadening their portfolios as governments increase military spending and seek capabilities beyond conventional munitions.

Why it matters：Europe's defence industry is diversifying into space as military budgets rise, a trend that shapes security capabilities beyond Ukraine.

Key points

  • Czech arms makers benefited from Ukraine-war demand.
  • They are now targeting space defence technologies.
