… HENSOLDT has the strategy, products, technologies and operational capacities to play a major role in upcoming German and EU procurement programs
1. Our products are already software-defined 2. Upcoming programs have high SDD-content 3. R&D paves the way for new business models

High-performance hardware forms the basis to add functionality via software (e.g. weapon location for TRML-4D)

HENSOLDT will play a central role in near-term largescale SDD projects like the digital battlefield and new reconnaissance vehicle of the Bundeswehr

An increasingly software and data-centric portfolio positions HENSOLDT as a relevant SDD player

Unweighted pipeline(1) (€bn)

Accelerated by additional budget (1) Revenue pro forma incl. ESG full year

German programs lay the foundation for additional business with NATO and EU nations. Regional split more dominated by Germany and Europe.
Investments in logistics backbone, the new Optronics site and IT create sufficient capacity until 2028.

HENSOLDT provides "mass" and a new "class" of digital, software-defined systems and acts as "bridge builder" for start-ups to build a new defence ecosystem.

Defence has become an industry of choice for purpose-oriented, highperforming talents. HENSOLDT has excellent access to human resources, e.g. from the automotive industry.
… With the current pipeline we see a revenue potential of EUR 6bn in 2030 (+ 20%)
