Hensoldt to Enhance German F124 Frigates with New Radars
Sensor solutions provider Hensoldt, together with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), will supply new radars to the German Navy to modernise the sensor technology of the F124 air defence frigates.
This follows an order placed by the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and Operation (BAAINBw) worth approximately 200 million euros for the delivery and installation of four sensor systems consisting of radar and identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) systems respectively.
The vessels´ sensor systems will not only be refurbished to overcome obsolescence of electronics components, but the order also marks the start of developing national capabilities in the field of Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD).
It includes a shore facility that is a fully functional copy of the ship’s radars. It not only enables training for users and service technicians, but also allows further developments to be tested on land prior to onboard installation.
Airspace Surveillance
Earlier, the contract for the modernisation of land-based air surveillance in the Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem (HADR NF) programme, also based on cooperation with ELTA, was awarded to Hensoldt. The HADR NF system operates in the S-band, allowing for more precise target acquisition compared to other systems.
This supplies the German customer with a combination of a national partner for certification and long-term support and also market-available systems that have been tried and tested in the field.
The radars used in both projects are largely identical in construction and thus also offer the customer advantages in terms of logistical supply and thus the long-term operation of the systems.
Thus, further developments can also be used cross-sectionally and be introduced more cost-effectively.
Since the threat to Europe from long-range weapons has existed for years, there is a clear agreement among the European countries that a protective shield consisting of their own and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) systems must be established or expanded.
Hensoldt has been expanding its portfolio in the field of cyber technologies and developing new products to combat a range of threats based on innovative approaches to data management, robotics and cyber security.
