Between Earth and space: stratosphere-compatible, solar-powered high-altitude aircraft, known as HAPs (High Altitude Platforms), offer a sustainable alternative to satellites for Earth observation and communication. They are reusable, cost-effective and flexible in use. The DLR joint project HAP-alpha is developing such a technology demonstrator and is endeavoring to establish a complete system capable of permanent operation. The aim is for DLR to build up comprehensive expertise for the development of high-performance, high-flying solar aircraft and to play an active role in shaping the legal framework. In summer 2025, the HAP-alpha successfully passed a ground vibration test.

The SDI170 IMU is designed for demanding, mission-critical, rugged environments and ideal for continuous use applications with no wear-out components, highly linear accelerometer performance and longer life compared to competing alternatives. It is constructed with EMCORE’s latest generation quartz gyros, quartz accelerometers, and high-speed signal processing to achieve outstanding precision performance. The solid-state quartz sensors and hermetically sealed IMU construction provide reliable MTBF and a 20-year operating and storage life. Continuous Built-in Test (BIT), configurable communications protocols, electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and flexible input power compatibility make the SDI170 IMU easy to use in a wide range of higher-order integrated commercial and defense system applications.

Our military aerospace AGSE solutions are important to the militaries that use them to maintain and service their aircraft. The aircraft servicing and maintenance hardware and armament handling equipment we develop, distribute, and support are relied on for mission success worldwide.

Our team of interpreters, all specialists in the defense sector, brings extensive hands-on experience and relevant training. We help ensure the success of international business endeavors by acting as trusted partners to our clients. • 24/7 defense interpretation services • Fully equipped to deliver simultaneous, consecutive, escort, and whispering interpretation services for a variety of conferences, seminars, and official events • Exclusive interpretation service provider for the first-ever K-Defense Day Event ◎Simultaneous interpretation Interpretation conducted in almost real time using interpretation equipment (FM interpretation equipment, and receivers) in an interpreter booth where a pair of interpreters do the interpretation. The audience hears the interpreter's voice through the receivers. It is often used in conferences, forums, symposiums and memorials attended by a large number of people. ◎Consecutive interpretation Unlike simultaneous interpretation, this is conducted served after a speaker's words end. It is mainly used for meetings with limited attendance, such as ministerial talks and summits. ◎Accompanying interpretation This is similar to consecutive interpretation, but the interpreter moves with the speaker and interprets. It is mainly used for sightseeing and field trips where interpreters are needed. ◎Whispering interpretation Interpretation for a small audience, listening to what a speaker says and then interpreting it for an audience in a quiet voice. If needed, the interpreter can use whispering equipment (transmitters and receivers).

InspecX is a next-generation autonomous swarm inspection system for aircraft. It is addressing challenges in the $100B global aviation maintenance market. Airlines face a shortage of certified technicians, with Boeing projecting demand for over 700,000 by 2044. Aircraft-on-ground (AOG) incidents cost $10,000–$150,000 per hour, making downtime reduction critical. InspecX uses swarm coordination and LiDAR-based SLAM to perform safe inspections in GNSS-denied or indoor environments. It reduces required technicians from 9 to 3 and inspection time from 10 hours to 3, achieving over 50% cost savings for large aircraft. Beyond efficiency, InspecX helps airlines avoid AOG losses, accelerates maintenance cycles, and improves airworthiness. By maximizing fleet readiness and ensuring reliable operations, it provides a scalable, future-proof solution. InspecX is positioned to become the new global standard for aviation safety and maintenance in the era of intelligent mobility.

The NSP-5 is an all-weather, multimode, Ku-band radar designed to fly on Group 3-4 Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS). Its low-Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) design means ample room for other onboard sensors, such as Electro-Optical and Infrared (EO/IR) cameras. This means users can understand the bigger picture. The NSP-5 is capable of performing spot and stripmap Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Magnitude Change Detection (MCD), as well as Moving Target Indication (MTI) collections in a variety of maritime and land environments in all weather conditions. This includes smoke, fog and other obscurations where the operators do not have a clear view of the terrain below them. The NSP-5 has a proven track record of reliability and has a recommended maintenance interval of 2,000 hours. Additionally, the modular design makes the NSP-5 easy to integrate onto most platforms.
