The German automotive industry would also be affected in terms of its safety, communication and distance radar technology, which requires high-frequency electronics, says Professor Haring Bolívar from Siegen. Something that applies even more to the Bavarian radar manufacturer Hensoldt. Its armament technology is a classic high-frequency system and therefore relies on large quantities of gallium arsenide. Thanks to gallium, the radars can work at much higher frequencies. This has a direct impact on their dissolution. And the sooner an enemy cruise missile is recognized as such by the radar, the faster anti-aircraft missiles can launch and defend a larger area.

“We currently do not see any delivery problems from our suppliers, but we are in close contact regarding possible precautions,” says a Hensoldt spokesman. One does not want to speculate about the effects of a shortage in supply.
