Germany Takes Delivery Of Helsing Combat Fighter System Nucleus Code

Helsing has delivered the MissionOSBw source code to Germany's BAAINBw procurement agency as a central element of the Combat Fighter System of Systems Nucleus programme. The transfer includes documentation and a software development kit, with ownership remaining with the German state. The mission operating system uses a modular open architecture intended to integrate uncrewed aircraft, sensors and software from different suppliers without binding future upgrades to one contractor. The wider Helsing-led consortium includes Hensoldt, Rohde & Schwarz, MBDA and Diehl Defence, and the programme encompasses experimental combat aircraft, ground control stations and autonomy software.
