# Slovenia Weighs Joining German MARS 3 Procurement

A November 10, 2026 report says Slovenia is considering joining Germany’s planned procurement of MARS 3 (EuroPULS) multiple-launch rocket systems. Neither government has confirmed the system or a Slovenian order. Germany’s reported framework agreement could cover approximately 500 systems and may allow purchases by allied countries, but the agreement is not reported as concluded. No Slovenian quantity, contract value, solicitation, or procurement timeline has been announced.

- The opportunity remains exploratory: contractors should not treat Slovenia’s interest as a confirmed requirement or active solicitation.
- KNDS Deutschland’s role adapting MARS 3 for European customers, alongside Elbit Systems’ underlying PULS technology, makes the program relevant to suppliers pursuing launcher, integration, and related defense-system work.
- Companies can track German and Slovenian defense-cooperation announcements and the proposed framework’s terms for indications of how allied-country purchases could be structured.
