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 ASN-157 was developed to meet the ongoing need for helicopters with reduced size and weight avionics. The ASN-157 system has an accuracy of 0.15 percent of total velocity, weighs less than 13 lbs., consists of one line-replaceable unit, and has a predicted mean time between failure of over 7,300 hours.

Weibel’s Doppler 3D tracking radars are designed for precise measurements of free-flying objects such as projectiles, artillery rounds, and rockets. The systems are highly effective for detailed debris tracking, range safety tests, missile tests, and space launches. Weibel’s tracking radars are phased array X-band CW, MFCW and FMCW radar systems consisting of state of the art phased array Doppler radar antennas, high performance pedestals, real-time multi-object tracking processors and state of the art waveform generators, all controlled from the operator console.

SAT-PRE establish emergency communication networks for communication-disrupted areas during natural disasters and catastrophes. SAT-PRE ensures communications between commands in deepest operational areas and also between team members. it maximized communication success in adverse terrain, weather and other terrible conditions. The rate of transfer success is over 90%. The implementation of various communication methods such as voice PTT, automatic location reporting, and specialized transmission and reception using satellites as we reflects the latest technology based on Iridium 2nd generation satellites. The mission control center's CL-700 receives information transmitted from the operational area SAT-PRE in real time for up to 1,000 units and shares on-site situations by linking with other systems.

Liquid Measurement Systems (LMS) provides fuel gauging and interface controls for service, maintenance, and flight crew personnel, at the primary refuel point on the aircraft.

External Refuel Preselect Panels can display the quantity of fuel in each tank, calculate the total quantity of fuel onboard, allow service teams to pre-select desired fuel quantity, and display fault codes. LMS’ external refuel preselect panels are compact, lightweight, and rugged systems that can be adapted to a variety of platforms.
