Through continuous innovation and strategic partnerships, HENSOLDT ensures that the German Navy maintains a technological edge, contributing to maritime security and global stability.
Strategic supplier of the German navy
High density of threats and difficult environments
Missions on the high seas as well as in coastal waters are characterised by a high density of potential threats and extremely difficult environmental conditions. Under these circumstances, individual sensor technologies sometimes reach their limits, so that in many cases a reliable picture of the situation can best be obtained by combining several sensors.
Precision above and under water
HENSOLDT is a leading provider of such advanced sensor solutions, playing a pivotal role in equipping the German Navy with state-of-the-art technologies. The company's contributions span radar systems, electromagnetic warfare (EW) and optronics, enhancing the Navy's operational capabilities across diverse maritime environments.

Modern radars for German frigates
HENSOLDT’s cutting-edge radar systems, including the TRS-4D and other long-range radars, provide exceptional detection and tracking capabilities. These systems are integral to the Navy's frigates and corvettes, such as the F124, F125, and F126 classes.
The TRS-4D radar, using advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, offers rapid response and high precision, even in challenging coastal conditions.
Moreover, HENSOLDT is pioneering ballistic missile defense capabilities in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries, further modernizing Germany’s naval fleet.
Controlling the electromagnetc spectrum
In the realm of spectrum dominance, HENSOLDT provides sophisticated EW systems, including electronic support measures, jammers, and software suites.
These tools enhance situational awareness and self-protection, allowing the German Navy to counter threats in highly dynamic maritime environments.
Submarines of the next generation
HENSOLDT’s maritime optronics portfolio includes high-performance surveillance devicesand advanced optics tailored for naval operations, both on the surface and under the water. These systems improve target identification and navigation, critical for operations in low-visibility and complex scenarios.
A current example for providing the German navy with highly modern sensors is the bi-lateral programme U212 CD, a joint project between Germany and Norway to modernize their fleets by building six new state-of-the-art submarines. HENSOLDT is equipping these submarines with an optronic system, consisting of an OMS150 optronic mast system and an OMS300 stealth optronic mast.
With this twin mast solution, the navies opted for the technological leap from the traditional periscope system to a completely non-hull-penetrating digital system solution.
