Munich-Based Defense Software Company Selected for Advanced Electronic Warfare Suite

Germany has selected Munich-based defense software company Helsing to support its Eurofighter EK program with an artificial-intelligence-enabled electronic warfare suite, marking one of the most significant attempts yet to integrate advanced AI into a front-line European combat aircraft. The program teams Helsing with Saab, which supplies its Arexis electronic warfare system, under a contract intended to replace Germany’s retiring Tornado ECR fleet. According to AeroTime, the integration pathway for Helsing’s AI capability is part of a larger effort to enhance electronic warfare capabilities and self-protection on the Eurofighter Typhoon jets.
