The International armament organisation, Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation (OCCAR), has commissioned HENSOLDT to provide In-Service Support (ISS) for the artillery detection radar COunter Battery RAdar (COBRA) for a further three years.

HENSOLDT, a leading German sensor solutions provider, and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), India’s premier aerospace and Defence manufacturer, have signed a major contract at the Dubai Airshow 2025 for the transfer of technology including design and manufacturing IPRs and integration of HENSOLDT’s state-of-the-art Obstacle Avoidance System (OAS) for Indian military helicopters.

This cooperation represents a significant milestone in Indo–German Defence industrial collaboration and positions India to join a very select group of nations possessing sovereign LiDAR-based helicopter obstacle avoidance technology.

To mark the 70th anniversary of the German Armed Forces, HENSOLDT is donating € 10,000 to the Bundeswehr-Sozialwerk e.V. “The Sozialwerk provides financial and material support to members of the German Armed Forces, their families and surviving dependants,” said HENSOLDT CEO Oliver Dörre, explaining the donation.

With the launch of the MDOcore software suite, HENSOLDT has reached a key milestone on the road to software-defined defence solutions. As the digital foundation for multi-domain operations (MDO), MDOcore enables the first-ever end-to-end, cross-domain integration of sensor- and effect-based systems. This speeds up decision-making processes in the field and significantly reduces the time from reconnaissance to effect – from the sensor network to the effector network.
