Longterm i would expect that the procurement agency - the "Federal Agency for Equipment, IT and Application of the Bundeswehr" (BAAInBw) - will be reformed or at least will have their work processes significantly reshaped sometime over the next 2-3 years. The agency currently has 1700 soldiers and 5100 civilian employees, which includes the six weapons R&D centers as well as the three Navy arsenals. I could very well see those parts (with 5000+ men and women) split off into a separate agency and the remaining procurement part could then see significant growth as part of an effort to improve their processes.
