Die deutschen Pläne, nach US-Vorbild eine Art „Mini-DARPA“ für Rüstungsforschungsprojekte zu gründen, finden auch in Übersee Beachtung. Mit einer Entscheidung sei in Kürze zu rechnen, berichtet Defensenews: „A decision on the way forward is expected “shortly,” a Defence Ministry spokesman told Defense News on Wednesday. Planning is underway to get the green light from the Finance Ministry, a necessary step because the agency would be set up as an “in-house” limited liability corporation, according to the spokesman.“ (jw)
