HENSOLDT Unveils TAERVUS, a Unified Electromagnetic-Warfare System for Modern Battlefields

HENSOLDT has officially introduced TAERVUS, a next-generation fully integrated Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) system designed to consolidate advanced sensors, jammers, and digital battle-management tools into a single land-focused solution. The launch marks a major evolution in how ground forces can dominate the electromagnetic spectrum.

According to the company, TAERVUS combines field-proven radio direction finders, wideband receivers, powerful jammers, and HENSOLDT’s Spectrum Battle Management Suite under one unified architecture. Rather than operating as separate devices, these EW tools now function as an interconnected “system of systems,” enabling faster reaction times and improved situational awareness.

The system covers COMINT and ELINT across HF, VHF, UHF and higher microwave bands, giving forces broad visibility of enemy emissions. TAERVUS also integrates jamming capabilities against hostile communications and radar, allowing ground units to both detect and disrupt adversary operations.

HENSOLDT says the name TAERVUS blends the Latin words Terra (earth) and Corvus (crow) — symbolizing both the platform’s land-based role and the crow’s traditional association with electromagnetic warfare due to its acute sensing abilities.

A central feature of TAERVUS is its modular, software-defined, networked architecture. This design merges tactical and strategic reconnaissance functions with tools to disrupt enemy communications, giving operators a flexible EW environment tailored to mission needs.

The system incorporates Artificial Intelligence for automated signal analysis, including semi-automatic classification, prioritisation and advanced features such as predictive jamming — where the system anticipates and reacts to changing threat patterns in real time.

HENSOLDT emphasizes that TAERVUS is engineered to shorten the OODA loop (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) by providing fast, accurate information on enemy emitters. “Those who act faster than their opponents and simultaneously disrupt their information-gathering capabilities secure a decisive advantage on the battlefield,” said Dr Torben Brack, Vice President and Head of Cyberspace & EW at HENSOLDT.

The company highlights TAERVUS as a new milestone, integrating multiple EW elements into one comprehensive capability, ensuring users get full system strength rather than isolated components. The approach strengthens information dominance, which is increasingly critical in modern and future conflicts.
