According to the report, the Organization for Joint Armament Co-operation has signed a new in-service support contract with Hensoldt for the counter-battery radar (COBRA) system on behalf of France and Germany. The three-year agreement, running from 2026 to 2028, is being concluded before the current contract expires on 31 December 2025, ensuring seamless delivery of core engineering services to both countries.
The report stated that the system design authority by Hensoldt will continue to be responsible for the following core services: configuration management, technical incident management, technical support, on-site maintenance, logistical documentation, IT security management, quality assurance and safety, with a particular focus on obsolescence management and remediation.
The report added that COBRA weapon-locating radar was jointly developed in the 1990s by Thales, Airbus Defence and Space, and Lockheed Martin for the French, British, and German armed forces.
Additionally, deliveries began in 2005 and were completed in 2007. An initial in-service support contract with ESG was signed in 2013 and renewed in 2022. ESG was subsequently acquired by Hensoldt in 2024.
