ILA 2024: Sensor solutions from HENSOLDT

One of the core competencies of HENSOLDT is the active and passive detection of threats as well as the protection of platforms and their users. At ILA 2024 in Berlin, HENSOLDT presents its wide range of sensor solutions for reconnaissance, surveillance, and observation, as well as sensors to enhance safety and operational effectiveness.

As part of the International Aerospace Exhibition, HENSOLDT will unveil a new sensor in the field of Airborne Optronics that offers enhanced passive threat detection in the infrared range.

In Berlin, HENSOLDT also showcases a precise airspace picture generated by its passive radar system "Twinvis." The system does not emit an active signal but detects multiple transmitting sources from the electromagnetic spectrum from various locations. It can also combine multiple sensors into a sensor cluster. The transmitters and the "Twinvis" sensors can be up to 100 kilometers apart. Unlike systems that rely on signals emitted by the target, "Twinvis" can detect targets solely based on the existing spectrum.

TRML-4D is the latest member of the HENSOLDT family of ground-based C-Band (NATO G-Band) air defense radars. HENSOLDT presents a state-of-the-art system currently deployed for air defense in Ukraine. TRML-4D utilizes the latest AESA radar technology (Active Electronically Scanned Array) with multiple digitally shaped beams. It is designed for ground-to-air detection in the short and long range as well as weapon assignment. It can detect, track, and classify various types of air targets, with a focus on small, fast, and low-flying cruise missiles and aircraft, as well as helicopters and drones. It ensures rapid detection and tracking of approximately 1,500 targets within a radius of up to 250 km and at an altitude of up to 30 kilometers.

With "Kalaetron Integral," HENSOLDT presents a fully integrated signal intelligence system that enables detection and in-depth analysis of both communication and radar signals in an unprecedented range with a single integrated system. Due to its fully digital design, "Kalaetron Integral" detects radar and communication signals across a wide frequency range in a very short time. Through automatic resource allocation and software-defined tasks, communication and radar signals can be not only captured, analyzed, and monitored by a single system, but also the relationships between these emissions evaluated. "Kalaetron Integral" as a single system thus performs tasks that currently require the use of multiple specific COMINT (Communication Intelligence) and ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) systems.

With the "Airborne Missile Protection System" AMPS, HENSOLDT demonstrates a flexible sensor suite for the self-protection of helicopters and aircraft. AMPS is capable of combining various types of warning sensors, countermeasures, and other avionics equipment to protect the platform and its crew from a variety of threats, such as infrared, laser, and radar-guided surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles.
