Girl´s Day at HENSOLDT!

Sensor solution provider HENSOLDT and AVILUS, a specialist in unmanned aerial systems (UAVs), announce their strategic partnership. The aim of the collaboration is the joint development and marketing of state-of-the-art sensor and ISR systems based on proven technologies and agile production capacities ‘Made in Germany’.

• Fit for the future: Cockpit voice and flight data recording for well over 25 hours time
• Data extraction possible “on-wing” – without removing the devices
• Higher reliability and significantly extended maintenance intervals

Lufthansa Technik and HENSOLDT have jointly launched a new generation of onboard recording devices for the Airbus A320 family, which offer significant improvements over previous cockpit voice and flight data recorders (CVR/FDR). With the corresponding retrofit solution, airlines are not only well equipped for much stricter future regulations regarding recording times, but they can also read out the stored data without removing the respective devices. In addition, their maintenance operations benefit from significantly increased reliability and thus significantly extended replacement intervals.

Sensor specialist HENSOLDT is expanding its production capacity with an external site near Ulm. An industrial hall is being leased and converted for this purpose. The lease agreement has now been signed. The company is investing a mid-double-digit million euro amount.
