The integration of unmanned assets in the KNDS Mission-Solution-Portfolio is – among other identified new technologies – a core capability for KNDS as a leading system of systems solution provider.
KNDS-Platforms can be deployed as mobile launch/landing pad for drones covering long and short distance missions. Precise Navigation of such drones in a GPS denied environment will be enhanced by innovative local radar solutions from Kymati.

Further Radar applications are identified and pursued.
“We are delighted to become a strategic partner of Kymati and to support the development of the company’s highly innovative radar solutions. This collaboration strengthens the KNDS ecosystem of technology and digitalization partners,” said Mathias Noehl, Chief Digitalization Officer of KNDS Group.
