Hensoldt Wins Contract for German Airspace Surveillance

Cooperation with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) on Ballistic Missile Defence capabilities

Sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT is supplying new radars to the German Armed Forces to modernise their airspace surveillance and build up Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) capabilities. The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has placed an order for the delivery and installation of four long-range radars as part of the "Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem" (HADR NF) programme.

For this purpose, HENSOLDT has entered into a cooperation in the field of BMD-capable long-range radars with ELTA Systems Ltd, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI). The HADR NF system operates in the S-band, allowing for more precise target acquisition compared to other systems. Thanks to IAI’s cooperation, the German customer can be supplied with a combination of a national partner for integration, certification and long-term support, as well as market-available systems that have been tried and tested in the field.

Since the threat to Europe from long-range weapons has existed for years, there is agreement among the European countries that a protective shield consisting of their own and NATO systems must be established or expanded.
