HENSOLDT was formed as an independent sensor house in 2017 from Airbus defense-electronics activities and former Airbus DS Optronics. The company presents itself as a European technology leader in mission-critical sensor solutions, with radar, optronics, electronic-warfare, cyber, and system-integration work spanning aircraft, ships, submarines, armored vehicles, satellites, unmanned platforms, and ground-based air-defense systems.

For this catalog, HENSOLDT is most visible through air-defense radar and sensor-integration records. FREYJA documents HENSOLDT's radar production, testing, delivery, and integration-support role with Fire Point, while SPEXER 2000 3D MkIII documents the company's short-range AESA radar family for ground-based air defense, counter-UAS, battlefield surveillance, and mobile force protection.
