Among other measures, the draft law stipulates that Germany’s federal states can request assistance from the Bundeswehr for drone defence. Under current law, deciding on the deployment of the armed forces as administrative assistance to prevent a regional disaster requires a corresponding agreement between Germany’s Minister of Defence and the Federal Minister of the Interior. In the future, according to the proposals, the Ministry of Defence alone would be able to decide on requests for administrative assistance. The requirement for consultation with the Federal Ministry of the Interior would be eliminated.
