Key highlights include the MQ-28 Ghost Bat collaborative combat drone developed with Boeing; Rheinmetall will serve as the prime contractor in Germany for a potential Bundeswehr acquisition targeted for 2029.

The group will also highlight its joint venture, Rheinmetall ICEYE Space Solutions, which recently secured a multi-billion euro contract with the Bundeswehr to provide space-based intelligence via a constellation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites.

Other equipment on display will include the FV-014 loitering munition, featuring a range of up to 100 km, the Skyranger 30 mobile air defense system mounted on the Boxer vehicle, and the Caracal air-assault vehicle.
