In today’s complex battlefield, real-time information about enemy forces and the operational environment is critical for military success. HENSOLDT’s land-based electromagnetic warfare (EW) solutions deliver actionable intelligence, enabling forces to understand, manage, and dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, providing a decisive edge over adversaries.
HENSOLDT’s land EW portfolio integrates advanced technologies, giving military forces the tools to track hostile emitters, analyse their signals and interpret what is being transmitted. HENSOLDT’s systems deliver situational awareness, mission planning, threat management and mission control, providing forces with the ability to dominate the spectrum.
From portable systems to scalable networks, HENSOLDT's EW solutions control electronic support (ES) and tactical electronic attack (EA) systems, while safeguarding friendly forces through cutting-edge jamming technologies. The integration of big data analytics and data fusion transforms large datasets into actionable insights, multiplying the effectiveness of operations and giving customers a tactical edge in complex environments.
HENSOLDT’s land EW systems are engineered to deliver full-spectrum coverage, ranging from HF to SHF frequencies, and are designed to manage even the most crowded frequency environments. This capability is crucial in modern warfare, where controlling the electromagnetic spectrum is often a deciding factor in conflicts. The portfolio includes capabilities for cyber and electromagnetic activities (CEMA), field-proven performance and the ability to scale and configure systems based on mission requirements. Automated signal processing and analysis enhance decision-making, while the system’s open architecture ensures future-proof flexibility.
HENSOLDT’s land EW solutions are designed for missions involving signals intelligence (SIGINT), electronic support (ES), electronic attack (EA), and force protection. Whether it’s reconnaissance, radar support, or signal analysis, these solutions provide commanders with the tools to monitor and disrupt enemy communications, maintain situational awareness and safeguard critical assets in high- threat environments.
HENSOLDT’s COMINT Automation Engine (CAE) brings a new level of sophistication to signal intelligence. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), the CAE processes dense signal environments, identifies emerging threats and provides commanders with faster, more accurate intelligence. By detecting modern communication targets such as drones and GSM/LTE modes, the system allows for real-time insights with minimal operator input, ensuring that decision-makers always have a clear picture of the operational landscape.
HENSOLDT’s South African-based GEW business unit has been a key player in delivering EW solutions to the Middle East, with over 130 systems deployed since 2007. HENSOLDT’s expertise in spectrum management and its partnerships in the region highlight its commitment to addressing local defence needs. The establishment of HENSOLDT Middle East in Saudi Arabia further demonstrates this commitment, supporting the country’s Vision 2030 and contributing to defence modernisation efforts across the region.
HENSOLDT’s EW systems have proven essential in the Middle East’s defence strategy, where regional conflicts, asymmetric threats, and evolving warfare tactics make electromagnetic warfare capabilities vital. In the face of growing tensions, including the current conflict situation, EW solutions provide the region with the intelligence, communication monitoring and situational awareness needed for national security.
With nearly 30 years of experience and hundreds of systems in operation worldwide, HENSOLDT is a market leader in tactical EW. Its field-proven solutions have been continuously upgraded to meet the demands of modern warfare, ensuring they remain relevant and effective in an ever-evolving battlefield. HENSOLDT’s customer-centric approach fosters strong partnerships, ensuring that systems are tailored to operational needs and backed by long-term support, including maintenance, training, and upgrades.
Ryno van Staden, Executive Manager of Sales and Marketing at HENSOLDT South Africa’s GEW business unit, said: “Our focus on close customer collaboration ensures that our capabilities stay ahead of the curve, delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the challenges of the ever-evolving electronic threats in modern warfare.”
