Hensoldt has developed a new version of its Twinvis passive radar, which is now being launched in a fully integrated shelter version for military use as Twinvis Military Sheltered.
Twinvis is currently available as a set-up kit for integration by the customer. According to Hensoldt, a specially established production line at the Ulm site enables systems to be called up at short notice to meet the needs of existing and potential customers.
https://militaeraktuell.at/bundesheer-und-ispa-intensivieren-zusammenarbeit/ Twinvis ist ein auf der neuesten Digitaltechnologie basierendes Passivradar, das in der weiträumigen militärischen Luftraumüberwachung oder mittelfristig in der zivilen Flugsicherung eingesetzt werden kann. Ein Passivradar fungiert als reiner Empfänger, sendet also nicht selbst, und ortet Ziele mittels Auswertung reflektierter Signale vorhandener Fremd-Sender.
“Our fully automated, intelligent signal processing and sensor data fusion opens up unprecedented opportunities for armed forces to operate covertly at long distances for a wide range of targets, including stealth threats. The Twinvis is highly mobile for this purpose and can be networked in real time. It can be used as an autonomously operating cluster of several distributed passive radars or paired with powerful air defense systems with active radar sensors,” says Markus Rothmaier, Head of Naval & Ground Radars at Hensoldt.

The Twinvis Sheltered can be flexibly and easily deployed on military carrier vehicles and set up and dismantled by just two people in the field. Self-sufficient operation is possible, even without personnel on site if required. The system has a powerful antenna system as well as processor and infrastructure units. The modular system architecture enables, among other things, the processing of multiple digital frequency bands, which offers procurers and users growth potential and the ability to plan incremental upgrades for the future. According to Hensoldt, it already has “several systems under contract with customers inside and outside NATO”.
