Sensor specialist and solution provider Hensoldt has been commissioned by the German Federal Police to supply detection and verification vehicles against unmanned aircraft systems (c-UAS vehicles).

The highly mobile and rapidly deployable c-UAS vehicles will significantly expand the German Federal Police's capabilities for the safe detection, verification and, if necessary, defence against drones that deliberately or negligently pose a threat to sensitive or critical infrastructure.

The self-sufficient vehicles can be deployed flexibly and quickly in a variety of scenarios, ensuring needs-based surveillance and the precise initiation of appropriate countermeasures.

The vehicles include an operator station as well as various mission-specific sensors and effectors that are either integrated into the vehicle or deployed separately from the vehicle to ensure maximum protection.

The Elysion Mission Core software developed by Hensoldt, which has proven itself in numerous missions, is the heart of the overall system. It fuses all sensor data in real-time and provides a comprehensive situational picture enabling a quick and agile response to potential threats. Elysion also accesses data from other networked systems to secure the airspace via capable interfaces as required.

As the general contractor in this project, HENSOLDT's c-UAS team is responsible for integrating the IT, including the Elysion Mission Core software, and the sensors and effectors into the vehicles. The vehicles are being assembled by a specialised partner in accordance with the customer's specifications. This will significantly expand the German Federal Police’s capabilities in the course of the year, increasing protection against threats from drones, for example at airports, in critical infrastructure areas or at major events.

At the same time, Hensoldt is underlining its ability to provide tailor-made c-UAS system solutions, also for highly mobile applications, and is making an important contribution to the sustainable enhancement of internal security.
