“That’s why it’s enormously important that we continue to drive technology development and expand our system capacities at the same time.

“Our investment in new system solutions and development laboratories is, therefore, an indispensable part of our growth strategy.”

According to Hensoldt, the new building will support the evaluation and development of software and electronic assemblies used in the new radar of the Eurofighter aircraft and in the Kalaetron integral, a product family related to the signals intelligence field.

The technical facilities available in the building will ensure the confidentiality of related development work agreed upon with customers.

Furthermore, the building’s laboratories and test facilities will also support Hensoldt in meeting increasing demands by reducing turnaround times.

The Ulm site primarily supports the development and production of radars and electronic warfare systems.

This facility includes around 3,000 employees, of which a large number are engineers and technicians.
