Da die militärische Nutzung des Weltraums heute bereits Realität ist, muß die Forderung nach Verhinderung der Militarisierung des Weltraums als absurd oder als "politische Agitation" erscheinen. Die Nutzung des Weltraums zur Förderung militärischer Sicherheit - so wie auch mit SDI angestrebt - hat angesichts einer vom Antagonismus zwischen NATO und Warschauer Pakt geprägten Welt technologisch, sicherheits- und machtpolitisch größte Bedeutung und ist eine Alternative zur gegenwärtigen Strategie, weil die Wehrlosigkeit gegenüber der Nuklearrakete abgebaut wird. Die Politik der Weltraumrüstung ist ein "Gebot realpolitischer Vorsorge". (SWP-Mgr)

Organization, processes and objectives in the field of defense research and technology have been thoroughly revised, streamlined and adapted to the changed parameters of the Bundeswehr. Goals and main efforts in the individual fields of technology are continuously evaluated and, if necessary, corrected. By a sensible sequence of basic studies, selected developments in form of demonstrators and near-transfer realization analyses it is ensured that the armed forces will have a broad technological basis for competent and responsible decisions on equipment and materiel in future as well. The process of an Europeanization of defense technology is consistently pursued in the field of research and technology, too, in order to ensure that the Bundeswehr can maintain and extend its capability to operate in joint and combined international missions. Guided by the capability requirements of the armed forces and the political, technological and financial parametric conditions, a systematic reorientation of the research and technology program whose effects are already flowing into the immediate planning was initiated.

The Research and Technology (R&T) Program of the Bundeswehr serves to ensure the necessary power of judgement and advisory competence in all relevant .fields of military technology and the systematic preparation of new modern equipment. International cooperation is an important means in this context. Joint and combined acting with partners promotes innovation and early use of synergies. Without trusting collaboration with our allies it will not be possible to keep pace with the tremendous dynamism in the field of modern technology and to ensure the availability of high-quality equipment for the Bundeswehr in the long run.
