On Thursday, 27 November 2025, the German company Hensoldt AG revealed that it is developing a new electronic warfare (EW) system called Taervus, intended for land forces conducting multidomain operations.

Germany’s leading provider of sensing solutions, Hensoldt AG, has presented the Taervus concept, a fully integrated system for conducting electronic warfare (EW). It combines state-of-the-art direction finders, receivers, and jammers/exciters with advanced signal-processing software and Hensoldt AG’s proprietary Spectrum Battle Management Suite (SBMS) battlefield management software package.
These systems, proven and tested in practice over many years, are now being presented under a unified name. Taervus covers both communications intelligence (COMINT) and electronic intelligence (ELINT) across HF, VHF, SHF, SHF+, and UHF radio-frequency ranges, up to higher microwave bands, offering the ability to jam hostile communications and radar systems. The name, derived from the Latin words Terra (Earth) and Corvus (Raven), reflects the image and identity of the system as a land-based electronic warfare solution, while the raven, an established symbol of electromagnetic warfare, also plays an important symbolic role in the product.
Taervus combines solutions for tactical and strategic reconnaissance of the adversary with effective disruption of hostile communications systems. It includes holistic sensor and system solutions in which modular, programmable, and networked systems operate in conjunction with one another. Integrated artificial intelligence supports, among other functions, signal analysis, enables semi-automatic classification and prioritization of detected signals, and opens up possibilities such as predictive jamming, in which jamming measures are optimized proactively and situationally.
The need for such a system on today’s battlefield is undeniable: in an environment where the speed and quality of information are decisive, Taervus allows its users to significantly shorten the decision-making OODA loop (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act). This capability provides users with early, accurate information about the enemy’s position, allowing them to make tactical decisions faster and more precisely than their opponent.
“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.
Taervus represents a new direction in military technology because it seamlessly integrates multiple systems into a single system. Its modular design allows it to be used in a wide range of projects and ensures that the user receives not only individual components but also comprehensive system functionality. This innovative solution will greatly contribute to providing the often life-saving informational advantage in combat, thereby increasing the chances of success in any scenario.
The system will be scalable, from man-portable and backpack solutions, through mobile and tactical systems, and up to strategic, stationary ones.
