HENSOLDT has been commissioned by the German Federal Police to supply counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) vehicles.
The self-sufficient vehicles can be deployed flexibly and quickly in a variety of scenarios. They include an operator station as well as various mission-specific sensors and effectors that are either integrated into the vehicle or deployed separately.
The Elysion Mission Core software, developed by HENSOLDT, fuses all sensor data in real-time and provides a comprehensive situational picture which will enable the police to respond to potential threats. Elysion also accesses data from other networked systems to secure the airspace 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 German Federal Police’s specifications.
The C-UAS systems are expected to be used to protect major events, airports and other critical infrastructure.

The April edition of the 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The Guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
