In a world where security challenges evolve at an unprecedented speed, HENSOLDT continues to set standards in innovation and reliability. At the World Defence Show (WDS) 2026 in Riyadh, the global sensor solution specialist will be exhibiting its cutting-edge technologies in Identification Friend Foe (IFF) for armed and security forces. With a steadfast commitment to operational excellence, HENSOLDT is dedicated to enhancing the operational capabilities of NATO forces and allied nations around the globe.
HENSOLDT has been at the forefront of IFF technologies for more than 50 years. Today, its portfolio in this field is designed to meet the mission-critical requirements of NATO countries and allies. This cutting-edge suite of solutions includes the medium and long-range IFF interrogator MSSR 2000 ID, the short-range interrogator MSR 1000I and the LTR 400 IFF transponder.
These systems are complemented by HENSOLDT’s Crypto Family, including both NATO Mode 5 and National Secure Mode (NSM) cryptos. Together they provide secure, interoperable communications among allied or sovereign forces – a decisive advantage that is crucial in today’s interconnected world.
Together, these solutions form a robust framework for reducing the risk of friendly fire and ensuring seamless coordination across air and missile defence systems, warships and military aircraft.
Beyond its IFF portfolio, HENSOLDT will also be presenting the ASR-NG air traffic control (ATC) surveillance radar. This state-of-the-art system provides wind farm mitigation, 3D surveillance for improved situational awareness, counter-counter jamming measures, long-range detection and integration with secondary surveillance radar supporting both Mode 5 and NSM. The ASR-NG is a game-changer for airspace management in regions characterised by geopolitical challenges.
HENSOLDT’s impact is felt worldwide, with its IFF systems and ATC surveillance radars in service across Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa. The company is actively expanding its presence in the Middle East and North Africa, engaging in negotiations and partnerships to meet the unique operational requirements of regional customers. HENSOLDT is committed to providing tailored solutions that enhance the operational capabilities of armed forces in this strategically important region.
