PARDUBICE, Czech Republic. Hensoldt and ERA, which produce Air Traffic Control and passive surveillance systems, have formed a strategic partnership to advance air surveillance and defense technology on behalf of the German Luftwaffe, according to a joint statement.
The primary focus of the collaboration is the development of the Passive Surveillance System VERA-NG. The companies plan to create an integrated infrastructure featuring both VERA-NG and Hensoldt's Passive Radar Twinvis technology, the statement says, adding that the combined data from these two passive technologies will provide a comprehensive air surveillance picture.
VERA-NG is designed for real-time surveillance capabilities in multiple domains, including air, maritime, and land, and has a track record of deployment in NATO and allied countries.
