► Rheinmetall and SATIM sign technology supply agreement: Support for German Bundeswehr in SAR programme

December 22, 2025 – The technology group Rheinmetall, based in Düsseldorf, and SATIM Monitoring Satelitarny, a Polish deep-tech company specialising in the AI-supported analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, have signed a technology supply contract. The content is the support of the German customer’s satellite-based reconnaissance program. The agreement formalises SATIM’s role as a technology supplier to Rheinmetall for the delivery of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for the Bundeswehr.
Under the contract, SATIM will supply AI-based capabilities that transform large volumes of complex radar imagery into actionable information. The agreement supports SPOCK-1, the German satellite reconnaissance program awarded to Rheinmetall ICEYE Space Solutions. SATIM will provide its technology as a supplier within the European Union, while Rheinmetall will operate the system independently in Germany.
Timo Haas, CEO of Rheinmetall Electronics: “Our partnership with SATIM marks another important milestone in advancing Rheinmetall’s strategy to strengthen our capabilities and footprint in an increasingly digital and connected battlespace. By combining our expertise and technologies, we are building a powerful foundation for faster, data-driven decision-making and superior situational awareness for our customers. This collaboration is another example of cutting-edge and combat-ready solutions at speed.”
Jacek Strzelczyk, CEO of SATIM: “The contract between SATIM and Rheinmetall combines the agility and innovation of a deep-tech start-up with the scale and mission experience of a global defence prime. Together, we will deliver effective solutions that support Germany’s national security priorities and will strengthen allied defence capabilities. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of our technology and its alignment with Germany’s ISR requirements.”
The technology supply contract brings together Rheinmetall’s system integration expertise and its established position in the German defence 
market with SATIM’s AI-based data analysis capabilities. The collaboration is intended to enhance situational awareness, support informed decision-making, and enable timely operational responses in a complex and evolving security environment.
