The Pegasus signal reconnaissance system goes hand in hand with the Hensoldt The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) already approved one of the most important project milestones – the so-called Critical Design Review (CDR) – a few weeks ago, thus giving the green light for the implementation of the system design.
At the CDR, representatives of the Bundeswehrfrom both the public client and the future user examined the design of the SIGINT components of the weapon system. In a large number of individual presentations, the implementation planning of the customer’s extensive requirements was presented in detail. The progress of the overall project was also conveyed in various software and hardware demonstrations. The subcontractor Lufthansa Technik also presented the planned integration of the resulting reconnaissance system into the aircraft and the associated conversion measures. https://militaeraktuell.at/wie-kriege-das-klima-schaedigen/ Jürgen Halder, Vice President Airborne SIGINT at Hensoldt, said: “The close cooperation between the Bundeswehr and Hensoldt since the beginning of the project activities guaranteed that the presented design was widely accepted. The underlying reconnaissance solution ‘Kalaetron Integral’ offers a globally unique, high-performance reconnaissance capability based on powerful German key technology.” Two years ago, Hensoldt was awarded the contract to supply an airborne system for electronic signal intelligence on board Bombardier business jets based on its “Kalaetron Integral” SIGINT system. The order is worth more than one billion euros. Hensoldt is acting as general contractor and bears overall responsibility for the realization of the project. Lufthansa Technik, based in Hamburg, will act as subcontractor for the procurement of the aircraft from the manufacturer Bombardier, including their modification, as well as the installation and integration of the reconnaissance system developed by Hensoldt into the aircraft.
