HENSOLDT UK

HENSOLDT UK is a world leader in manufacturing and supplying maritime navigation and surveillance radar systems. With deep roots as Kelvin Hughes, a trusted name in radar for over 70 years, and backed by HENSOLDT’s global innovation, we deliver proven solutions across naval, commercial, coastal, and ground-based applications.

The core product technology of HENSOLDT UK is Kelvin Hughes SharpEye – a radar transceiver launched in 2006 that brings military grade target detection at an affordable price to warships and offshore patrol vessels. SharpEye is a solid state pulse Doppler navigation and surface search radar sensor and differentiates to the competition through its extremely high reliability and ability to detect very small Radar Cross Section (RCS) targets in severe weather or high clutter conditions.

Since becoming part of HENSOLDT in 2017, HENSOLDT UK’s role has expanded. While we continue to lead in radar technology, we have also become a gateway for HENSOLDT’s advanced radar, optronics, spectrum dominance and avionics solutions for the UK Defence market. By utilising local resources, we ensure sovereign operation and support with a clear focus on protecting the UK’s strategic interests.
