HENSOLDT – Innovations for a safer world

HENSOLDT stands for technological leadership, industrial capability and European autonomy in key security-related technologies. The company combines its decades of expertise in radar, optronics, electronics and cyber security with software-centred system architecture and platform-independent integration.

Our company

HENSOLDT is a leading European technology company in the defence and security sector, headquartered in Taufkirchen near Munich. With decades of operational experience, the company develops mission-critical sensor solutions, optronics, defence electronics and integrated systems for applications across all domains – land, air, sea, cyber and space.

Proven technology for mission-critical decisions

HENSOLDT systems are deployed worldwide on aircraft, ships, submarines, armoured vehicles, satellites and unmanned platforms. This broad operational footprint provides a deep understanding of complex mission environments and creates a unique foundation for the development of intelligent, data-driven defence solutions.

The company combines radar, optronics, electronic warfare, cyber capabilities and system integration expertise to create connected solutions that do more than detect. They fuse, interpret and contextualise data to support faster and more reliable decision-making.

Pioneering Software-Defined Defence

HENSOLDT is evolving from a sensor solutions provider into a next-generation systems integrator. At the heart of this transformation is Software-Defined Defence: Open architectures, modular software and AI-enabled data fusion allow systems to be adapted, updated and connected across platforms and domains.

Solutions such as MDOcore provide the digital backbone for Multi-Domain Operations, turning fragmented sensor data into a consistent, trusted operational picture. This enables information superiority, faster decision-making and greater resilience under contested conditions.

A partner for sovereign defence capability

As a European technology leader, HENSOLDT delivers sovereign, scalable and future-ready defence solutions. Acting as a bridge builder across the defence ecosystem, the company connects technologies, partners and platforms into operationally relevant capabilities – helping armed forces protect people, infrastructure and nations in an increasingly complex security environment.

In 2025, HENSOLDT generated revenues of approximately €2.46 billion with around 9,500 employees. The company is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is part of the MDAX.
