Airbus and HENSOLDT equip “German Airborne Weapon Systems Electronic Warfare Center” with comprehensive software and hardware updates
Airbus Defence and Space equips in close collaboration with HENSOLDT the “German Airborne Weapon Systems Electronic Warfare Center” with new up-to-date software and hardware to provide a streamlined, service-oriented approach to improve the support of mission-specific “Electronic Warfare Mission Data” for the aircraft operated by the German Armed Forces.
This joint effort ensures that weapon systems are tailored to each mission and maintain the readiness of the “German Airborne Weapon Systems Electronic Warfare Center” in face of current and future threats.
The agreement starts in January 2025 and includes mission-critical software solutions.
The highly integrated system will offer an increased amount of automation and allows reduced response times to the end user. Airbus` state-of-the-art operating systems will enhance usability while integrating future-proof technology compatible with advanced weapon systems.
It not only paves the way for future integration with additional platforms, but also increases mission effectiveness and enables efficient mission preparation and conduction seamlessly.
HENSOLDT provides essential IT services and deployable hardware for mobile operations, including server hardware and workstation computers for personnel.
The collaboration between Airbus and HENSOLDT marks a significant step in strengthening Germany’s defence capabilities, ensuring mission effectiveness and readiness in a complex and technology-driven defence environment.
