The army sends a clear signal: innovation should be created faster, closer to the force and much more effectively and implemented in practice in the future. The newly established Birds Group at the Heer command, the staff of the inspector, combines ideas from the associations with the innovation actors of the Bundeswehr.
In the future, the Birds Group will bundle the innovation potential of the German Army and put it under a uniform leadership. It is important to make new technologies, processes and ideas ready for use in a short time.(Bundeswehr/Marco Dorow)
The Birds Group becomes the central point of contact for unmanned systems, technical innovations and tactical testing in the field of land forces. The “look from above”, which provides an overview of a broad picture of the situation and provides the basis for decision-making, gives the group its name.
The structure that is being created is a decisive step towards more commitment and technological security for the future. The task of the Birds Group is to strengthen the innovation culture of the Bundeswehr through networking, expertise and openness to new solutions. How can this be realized?
Benefits for the entire Bundeswehr
The Birds Group is a hub at the highest management level in the army, which identifies innovations faster, bundles, coordinates with the other players outside the army and brings them into the area. The entire Bundeswehr is to benefit from this later, because successful approaches from the force become visible more quickly and can then be transferred to other areas. The German Army thus strengthens its role as a driver of innovation and puts the important ideas and suggestions that already exist in the force under a uniform leadership.
The Birds Group does not replace the responsibility of leadership at all levels as well as in the respective professionalism. In the future, it will promote exchange with key innovation actors of the Bundeswehr through its leadership mission and will make it easier to make new technologies, processes and ideas ready for use in a short time. In this way, it strengthens the ability of all sub-forces to go into future positions in a more modern, networked and action-proof manner.
