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.
