ZF Contributes Engineering Expertise to Diehl Defence Projects
ZF supports Diehl Defence as an engineering service provider in development projects
Scope of services includes design and system development, layout and construction, as well as testing and validation
ZF contributes its industrial development and systems expertise to selected projects
Friedrichshafen, Germany. ZF provides engineering services for Diehl Defence in selected development projects in the defense sector. The scope of services covers various phases of the development process, from concept studies to testing and validation activities.
ZF contributes its many years of experience in the development, testing and industrialization of complex technical systems. The goal is to shorten development cycles, incorporate expertise in industrial scaling at an early stage, and develop innovative solutions for future defense applications.
The cooperation with Diehl Defence illustrates how ZF can successfully contribute its diverse expertise and system competence to new fields of application and markets.
Development and Integration of Advanced Systems
ZF supports Diehl Defence in selected development activities and contributes established development processes, scalable organizational structures, and many years of experience in the development and production of quality-critical systems. Diehl Defence remains responsible for system requirements and defense-specific system integration.
Testing and Validation from a Single Source
Another focus of the cooperation is on testing and validation activities. ZF provides test benches, simulation environments and test methods to test components under realistic conditions. Structured validation helps to ensure quality, safety and reliability at an early stage. The physical proximity of the sites enables short response times and accelerates the development process.
Close Integration of Development Teams
Due to their geographical proximity, ZF and Diehl Defence work together not only through classic engineering services, but also through temporary employment arrangements. ZF specialists support projects directly on site in berlingen and contribute their know-how directly to the development. This enables short coordination channels, a high degree of flexibility and close integration of the teams.
Contributing to Technological Literacy in Europe
The collaboration shows how industrial development and systems expertise can contribute to the implementation of challenging projects in the German and European defense sector.
