“KNDS is a highly technology-driven company with eight specialized research hubs and more than 20 percent of our workforce dedicated to Research & Development. Based on our undisputed customer intimacy and our continuous focus on innovation, we design end-to-end mission solutions, combining manned and unmanned capabilities, including mission planning, training, simulation, and full lifecycle support. We ultimately shape the future of land defense in Europe and beyond”, said Jean-Paul Alary, CEO of KNDS.
KNDS has already developed collaborative combat capabilities, including the interplay of unmanned and manned systems, autonomous navigation support, and networked firepower concepts. The company hereby focuses on coherent system innovations that can actually be deployed at scale.
“At the heart of KNDS‘ advanced mission solutions is the integration of information technology with operational defense systems, enabling new digital capabilities on the battlefield. Therefore, KNDS also places a special focus on the collaboration with strong partners that ensure innovation and digitalization at the highest level”, said Mathias Noehl, KNDS EVP Digitalization during a media event at the company’s Munich facilities. “We firmly believe in cooperation and are able to seamlessly integrate the know-how and strength of key partners into our systems. By doing so, we can offer our customers mission solutions on a new, powerful level”.
By connecting sensors and operators in a seamless digital network, KNDS enables faster processing of battlefield information and supports quicker, better-informed operational decisions. KNDS offers mission solutions ranging from reconnaissance and the control of manned and unmanned systems to the processing of all collected information and operational deployment. The integration of logistical and technical support is an integral part of this, ensuring the operational readiness of the systems for soldiers at any time and in any location – even during deployment.
