About HENSOLDT
HENSOLDT develops sensor chains that connect detection, classification and command rather than supplying only individual radar units. TRML-4D provides ground-based air surveillance, while Spexer radars cover shorter-range targets including small drones. Twinvis adds passive detection from reflected broadcast signals, and optronic or electronic-warfare sensors provide identification and emissions intelligence around the radar picture.
These feeds can be fused through software such as MDOcore and the Elysion counter-UAS architecture, then passed to effectors or external air-defence command systems. Spexer 2000 is integrated into platforms including Skyranger 30 and Germany’s NNbS programme, while TRML-4D supports wider networked air surveillance. HENSOLDT also supplies airborne avionics, self-protection and electro-optical equipment, giving it positions across fixed installations and mobile platforms. HENSOLDT reported 2024 revenue of €2.24 billion and expanded its electronic-warfare and integration capabilities through the acquisition of ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH.
