HENSOLDT Integrates AI & EW Capabilities with New TAERVUS System

Sensor solution provider HENSOLDT has introduced TAERVUS, a fully integrated system designed for land-based Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) operations.

The newly branded solution unifies field-proven technologies, combining state-of-the-art radio direction finders, receivers, and jammers/exciters with advanced signal processing software and the company’s own Spectrum Battle Management Suite (SBMS).

TAERVUS is capable of covering both Communications Intelligence (COMINT) and Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) ranges. These capabilities span from HF, VHF, and UHF frequencies up to higher microwave bands, offering effective jamming measures against hostile communication and radar systems.

A key feature of the system is its integration of Artificial Intelligence to support signal analysis. This technology enables the semi-automatic classification and prioritisation of detected signals, unlocking capabilities such as ‘predictive jamming,’ where countermeasures are optimised based on anticipation and the specific situation. By providing early and accurate data on enemy positioning, the system allows users to significantly shorten the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act), facilitating faster tactical decision-making.

Dr Torben Brack, Vice President and Head of Cyberspace & EW at HENSOLDT, stated, “Those who act faster than their opponents and simultaneously disrupt their information gathering capabilities secure a decisive advantage on the battlefield.”

TAERVUS represents a shift towards a “system of systems” approach, utilizing a modular design that allows for networked operations and integration into a variety of projects. This ensures users receive comprehensive system capability rather than isolated components. The product name blends the Latin words “Terra” (earth) and “Corvus” (crow), reflecting its identity as a land-based solution and referencing the crow as a traditional symbol of electromagnetic warfare.
