HENSOLDT Exhibits Broad Range of Innovative Sensor Solutions

One of HENSOLDT’s core competences is recognising threats and protecting end users. At IDEX 2021, the company is presenting its broad range of sensor solutions for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations as well as sensors to improve the safety and operational effectiveness.

HENSOLDT is showcasing TRML-4D, the latest member of its C-Band (NATO G-Band) ground-based air defence radar family. It uses the latest AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar technology, with multiple digitally formed beams. The radar is designed for near- to long-range ground-to-air detection and for weapon assignment. It is capable of detecting, tracking, and classifying various types of air targets, with an emphasis on small, fast, and low-flying and/or manoeuvring cruise missiles and aircraft as well as hovering helicopters. The newly developed radar is under contract in the region and has been tried and tested in operations on numerous occasions; it ensures rapid response detection and tracking of approximately 1,500 targets in a radius of up to 250 km and at an altitude of up to 30 km.

HENSOLDT is also highlighting a very precise picture of the airspace, covered by its passive radar system TwInvis. The system uses several transmission sources from various locations. It can also interconnect several sensors into one sensor cluster. The transmitters and the TwInvis sensors can be separated from each other at a distance of up to 100 kilometres. Unlike systems based on passive emitter tracking, requiring aircraft to emit, TwInvis does not depend on any such transmission and is thus a truly passive system.

Alongside the ground-based radars, HENSOLDT is displaying its counter-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) system Xpeller for 24/7 protection from illicit intrusions of UAVs over critical areas – even at long ranges – offering a low false alarm rate and high probability of interception. The system is highly modular and combines numerous sensors (radar, electro-optics, direction finders) and target neutralisation effectors such as jammers and drone catchers through a single Command and Control (C2) system.

At IDEX, HENSOLDT is also displaying its innovative airborne multi–function ISR radar PrecISR 1000, providing armed forces and border protection authorities with high situational awareness and a short reaction time. The software-defined radar translates latest achievements in active array antennas (GaN-based AESA tiles) and digital receiver technology into a scalable high-performance sensor, which can be installed aboard helicopters, UAVs and fixed-wing mission aircraft.

The company’s multi-sensor system for Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, ARGOS-II HDT is also in the spotlight. It can be fitted with High Definition (HD) infrared and daylight cameras as well as laser rangefinders and laser illuminators.
