HENSOLDT and KX to develop next generation technology to accelerate real-time defence data capabilities
Companies have committed to a mission-driven outcome, combining cutting-edge sensors and real-time analytics to deliver decisive data advantage in multi-domain operations.
At this year’s Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition, defence technology leader HENSOLDT and real-time analytics pioneer KX signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on next-generation defence data solutions.
The agreement marks a strategic alignment between HENSOLDT’s advanced sensor, mission system, and Electromagnetic Warfare capabilities and KX’s world-class high-performance analytics platform, used globally across sectors where milliseconds matter.
By integrating KX’s ultra-low latency analytics with HENSOLDT’s multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR / SIGINT) systems, the two companies aim to deliver faster, smarter situational awareness to armed forces — starting with the German military and approved international partners.
“Modern defence operations demand the rapid transformation of sensor data into actionable intelligence,” said Jürgen Halder, Vice President Airborne SIGINT at HENSOLDT. “KX’s real-time analytics perfectly complement HENSOLDT’s sensor portfolio, creating a formidable capability to meet our customers’ most demanding operational needs.”
“This strategic relationship extends KX’s proven real-time technology into mission-critical defence operations,” said Gary Connolly, Vice President Aerospace, Defence, Space and Security at KX. “Together with HENSOLDT, we will help armed forces achieve the speed, precision, and situational awareness required to succeed in the most demanding environments.”
The collaboration will initially focus on delivering real-time command-level intelligence across multi-domain operations, advanced battlespace management, synthetic training environments, and Electromagnetic Warfare scenarios.
With modern conflicts increasingly driven by the ability to act on data in real time, this represents a long-term commitment to delivering decisive information advantage and mission success in modern defence operations.
