Systems for aviation-related applications – no matter whether it is equipment on board aircraft or sensors on the ground – have been part of HENSOLDT’s core expertise for decades. Thanks to the innovations developed in close contact with our customers, these systems will continue to be one of the cornerstones of our business in the future. Air forces are the most flexible part of any defence system. They can be on the spot within minutes and react immediately to threats.
