Testing & Simulation

Design and development of test and simulation solutions 

HENSOLDT France specialises in designing and developing testing and simulation solutions, and its goal is to offer major purchasers complete, durable, reliable solutions that are perfectly tailored to the complex and critical nature of today’s systems.

To achieve this, HENSOLDT builds on its expertise in electronic engineering and its ability to offer and integrate innovative off-the-shelf products from its own R&D or from strong partnerships within the market.

Thanks to the scope of its offering, HENSOLDT France covers systems’ entire life cycles and strives to support industrial stakeholders as part of a global approach designed to secure processes, installations and operational activities.

Portfolio

  • Aeronautics applications: integration and validation of hardware and systems including Iron Bird

  • Defence applications: integration and validation of hardware and systems, simulation of “systems of systems”

  • Rail applications: integration, validation and simulation of hardware (rolling stock and signalling equipment), upstream validation of the full operation of transport lines.

System integration and simulation

For over 30 years, HENSOLDT has used its expertise and know-how to secure and accelerate the development of critical systems on behalf of industry stakeholders.

To meet the current needs of aerospace, defence and rail OEMs and manufacturers, HENSOLDT France has developed ALYSA, a versatile, modular platform with incremental capabilities for each of these sectors. It covers activities ranging from validating and integrating hardware and complete systems to simulating global situations that involve multiple interoperable systems to validate “systems of systems” concepts.

ALYSA is a modular, scalable solution that can adapt to each program, provide all the technical capabilities required to ensure that each phase of the V cycle runs smoothly right through to the operational stage, and become a digital twin. It can be used from the design stage to model preliminary concepts (MIL) and simulate actual operational scenarios (SIL) to verify the performance and safety of the systems to be developed.

During the integration stage, ALYSA can interface simulations with real hardware and also allows different hardware to interface (HIL). Designed with our customers’ challenges in mind, ALYSA solutions aim to bring the maximum possible forward planning and safety to the development process and to enable quick prototyping to reduce time to market.

Equipment Test Benches

A recognised expert in the field of testing, HENSOLDT has been assisting its customers with designing, creating and commissioning custom test benches for over 30 years.

HENSOLDT supplies turnkey testing resources to the civil, defence and space sectors for their R&D, production, qualification and maintenance activities.

Our benches benefit from our expertise in command & control and measurements, our policy of constantly capitalising on our achievements (integrating our technological modules, COTS products and software) and our experience in demanding, high-stake projects.

Our testing systems are fully automated with customisable HMIs that enable all testing tasks to be performed: preparation, scheduling, management and implementation of tests, debugging, supervision, results management and more.

Our sector experts and our capacity for innovation mean we are at our customers’ disposal, offering them the latest technology and supporting them as we develop more powerful, more reliable next-generation solutions.
