Satellite images have long been indispensable for civil and military applications. In cooperation with the Finnish company ICEYE, Rheinmetall already has access to state-of-the-art technology. With its newly established Space division, the corporation is setting the strategic course for this important market. The newly founded division with a focus on space does not even have

With a striking modern design and an aggressive design language, Rheinmetall gives its military utility and armoured vehicles an unmistakable look, and thus making the company the pioneer of an entire industry. Hardly any other military vehicle characterises the image of international armed forces more than the MAN KAT1. Originally created in 1962 as a

In 1927, Rheinmetall presented an electrically powered calculator for the first time at the Leipzig Spring Fair. What began as compensation for the severely restricted armaments production after the Great War developed into an internationally demanded product portfolio during the Weimar Republic. An excursion into the early mechanisation of office work. Typewriters instead of ammunition

The installation of conventional charging stations is complex. They also have influence on the scenery of the streets and they take up space on the curb. Wouldn’t it be possible to set up charging stations where they don’t bother anyone? A team of developers at Rheinmetall came up with a simple yet brilliant solution to

For over more than 100 years, the term thermal management was synonymous with technologies that were used in classic combustion engines. Anyone who now thinks they no longer have any place in electric mobility is mistaken. A special kind of transformation. The technological change in automotive engineering naturally leads to a rethinking process among suppliers.

With the “Infantry Heavy Weapon Carrier”, Rheinmetall is delivering a key system for the German Army’s new medium forces. Up to 123 vehicles are to join the armed forces starting 2025. For the Bundeswehr, national and alliance defence today means that NATO’s eastern flank is no longer in the centre of its own country. Instead,

Established manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the electrification of off-road vehicles such as construction machinery – and not just because this can mean longer operating times. Start-ups and manufacturers of other off-road or agricultural machines are also looking for innovative solutions for efficiently electrifying their products. Rheinmetall is following this trend. Among other things, the

Vast amounts of unexploded ordnance corroding on the floor of the North Sea and Baltic, most of it sunk after the Second World War, pose an increasing threat to people and the environment. Rheinmetall and an international working group of specialized maritime companies have developed a solution to this problem in the form of a
