31 special modernization programs (PEM) will deploy starting 2026, expected to add 0.4-0.7% to GDP and create 96,000 direct/indirect jobs through domestic defense spending. Indra dominates contracts, participating in 29 of 31 programs with €6 billion in zero-interest credits, but pressure exists to include SMEs and distribute benefits across regional ecosystems.

This reflects broader European shift toward reducing dependence on US military supplies and strengthening collective European defense capabilities post-Ukraine conflict. Strengthens Spain's position as key Southern European defense hub.
