The company was formed from Airbus’ defense electronics activities, which were spun off from the Airbus Group in 2017 and have now entered the market together with the former Airbus DS Optronics as a new sensor house under the brand name of HENSOLDT INC. The HENSOLDT brand draws its German lineage from Moritz Carl HENSOLDT (1821-1903), a German pioneer of optics and precision mechanics, who developed benchmark technology solutions and products in his field. With more than a hundred years of experience in high-performance technology, HENSOLDT INC. is in a great position to capitalize on its German heritage.

HENSOLDT INC. provides sensor-solutions in air, sea and land applications to armed forces and security authorities. Various sensor technologies are included in HENSOLDT INC.’s portfolio which, when combined, allow detection capabilities to be improved substantially. The company’s main areas of activity include the protection of borders and critical infrastructures, air defense, mission management and aircraft self-protection, vehicle protection, signal intelligence and data links, as well as night vision devices, laser rangefinders and optronic targeting equipment. With its wide product range, HENSOLDT covers all types of applications in air, sea, land and space missions and enables its customers to maintain superiority when it comes to monitoring the electromagnetic spectrum. HENSOLDT solutions are deployed on various platforms, including helicopters, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, ships and submarines, armored vehicles as well as satellites.

Innovation is a concept deeply embedded in HENSOLDT’s DNA. Leading-edge solutions such as the modular counter-UAV system XPeller, protects critical infrastructures against drones, or the passive radar system, TwInvis, that provides a common air picture without any active emission stand proof of HENSOLDT’s highly advanced technologies. HENSOLDT also happens to be a key player in the Drone Identification Systems market. In June 2019, HENSOLDT developed a special radome technology to offer enhanced protection to its collision avoidance radar system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Radome technology is aimed at protecting the radar from environmental factors such as bird strikes or lightning, without affecting the performance of the radar.

In addition to being a technology leader, HENSOLDT is proving to be a pioneer in its approach to cyber security. The company develops security-hardened basic IT systems for this rapidly growing area, which are impervious to hacker attacks and inherent hardware weaknesses. Thanks to its long tradition and experience in the field of electronic warfare, HENSOLDT is also optimally positioned as a major player in the cyber warfare environment.
