HENSOLDT South Africa is showcasing its communications intelligence (COMINT) automation engine at the upcoming African Aerospace and Defence (AAD) exhibition in Pretoria, South Africa. This advanced tool uses artificial intelligence to enhance signal analysis, providing actionable intelligence on the modern digital battlefield.
Part of HENSOLDT’s electromagnetic warfare portfolio, the COMINT software engine forms the core of detection, processing, and analysis of enemy communications, enabling quicker and more efficient intelligence gathering. It integrates wideband sensors, processes multiple signals at once – including agile frequency-hopping transmissions – and features radio network clustering for streamlined intelligence review.
With minimal operator input, the system detects modern communication targets such as drones and CEMA (Cyber-Electromagnetic Activities) modes like GSM and LTE. Its AI-driven processing ensures faster, more accurate insights, and the engine is flexible enough to integrate third-party decoders for future needs. Wimpie van den Berg, Portfolio Manager of GEW, a business unit of HENSOLDT South Africa, commented: “AI is transforming defence, especially in signal analysis. Our COMINT engine accelerates intelligence gathering, enabling commanders to make fast, informed decisions to counter emerging threats.”
The COMINT automation engine will be on display at the AAD exhibition, marking a significant advancement in electromagnetic warfare technology.
