Airbus DS Electronics and Border Security (EBS) is a world leading provider of premium electronics in the areas of protection, surveillance and situational awareness.

As a separate organizational unit within Airbus Defence and Space, it is managed according to arms-length principles serving the defence and security markets. It is the global No. 1 in missile warning systems, a leading provider of border surveillance equipment and THE German sensor house with a major position in the radar, optronics and electronic warfare markets.

Customers benefit from the company’s strong heritage capitalizing on renowned names such as Dasa, Siemens, Aerospatiale-Matra, Telefunken, Dornier and Zeiss. It employs today approx. 4,000 employees generating revenues of about  €1 billion per year.

Electronics and Border Security is addressing the market via several legal entities closely cooperating with security authorities and armed forces as well as system providers worldwide. Areas of operation are air defence, airborne self-protection, vehicle and convoy protection, signal intelligence as well as night vision and optronic targeting. In the fields of security EBS’ products are deployed to protect critical infrastructures and to provide security forces with realtime situational awareness. Its portfolio includes radar and identification systems (IFF), electronic warfare and situational awareness, optronic sensors and data links. Furthermore, the portfolio also comprises avionics equipment, such as avionics computers, digital map units and situational awareness systems for helicopters.

As a technology leader, EBS drives the development of radar technology, particularly in the area of next-generation active electronically scanning (AESA) radars for space, air, naval and ground applications. Transversally, multi-sensor integration and data fusion technology is particularly useful creating added value by combining radars with optronic sensors and thermal imagers from its extensive optronics portfolio. Therein, cameras, telescopes, thermal imaging devices and periscopes constitute indispensable elements of situational awareness for naval, airborne and ground-based platforms.

Among the most prominent air and space platforms equipped by the company’s products are the F-16 and Eurofighter (radar, self-protection, avionics) combat aircraft, the Tandem-X satellites, the A400M transport aircraft (self-protection, avionics) as well as helicopters of various types. Furthermore, the company provides mission-critical equipment to the Puma and Leopard armoured vehicles, the US Navy Littoral Combat Ship and the German Navy F125 frigate. 

The Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR develops concepts, methods and systems for electromagnetic sensor technology, particularly radars, implementing modern methods of signal processing and innovative technologies, ranging from microwaves to the lower end of the terahertz band. With a budget of €32.5 million in 2015 and more than 300 employees, Fraunhofer FHR is one of the largest radar research institutes in Europe.

The most valued competencies of Fraunhofer FHR – numerical calculation of electromagnetic fields, high-frequency technology and sensor signal processing – enable the institute to design, develop and implement complex high-frequency systems, executing each step in-house. Fraunhofer FHR unites leading edge technology with sophisticated methods of signal processing to devise new types of system. This is accomplished by the interdisciplinary collaboration of physicists, engineers and mathematicians. The activities in the business units Defense, Space, Traffic, Environment, Security and Production constitute concrete examples of innovative applications that are being implemented in many areas of society.
