About this report

Hensoldt AG has emerged as a linchpin of Europe’s defence technological base. Specializing in sensor, radar, and optronics systems, the Germany-headquartered firm has seen rapid growth from 2022 to 2025 amid a historic upswing in European defence spending.

In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, EU and NATO nations have boosted defence budgets by over 30% in real terms from 2021 to 2024. Germany alone allocated a €100 billion Sondervermögen (special fund) for defence and approved new exemptions to debt limits to enable even further spending.
