Interview: Hensoldt CEO Oliver Dörre: "In an emergency, there is no time for fundamental discussions"
The shock of the drone attack in Leipzig is still fresh. The head of the arms company Hensoldt fears new attacks. And he has a plan on how Germany can better protect itself.
Oliver Dörre, CEO of Hensoldt, gave an interview to Handelsblatt at Munich Airport, where he discussed the company's plans for expansion and protection against drones. Hensoldt, a leading provider of radar and sensor technology, is in high demand globally, with the German military being its most important customer. Dörre emphasized the need for a comprehensive system to detect and defend against drones, suggesting that a nationwide sensor network could be established using existing infrastructure such as Telekom's mobile phone towers.
He also discussed Hensoldt's software, MDOcore, which integrates sensors and weapon systems into a data cloud, and the company's efforts to develop a sovereign European solution for military data analysis.
