Integration of AI capabilities into MDOcore
Taufkirchen/Berlin (Germany), 09 June 2026 – HENSOLDT and SE3 Labs, a Munich-based technology company specialising in spatial artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, have signed a memorandum of understanding at the ILA Berlin. The agreement sets out the framework for strategic cooperation in the field of spatial and agentic AI.
The cooperation focuses on integrating SE3 Labs’ AI capabilities into HENSOLDT’s MDOcore platform for automated data processing. SE3 Labs develops AI models that use large language models and advanced computer vision technology to generate interpretable insights from sensor data in real time. These capabilities are set to become an integral part of MDOcore in future, thereby expanding the scope of HENSOLDT’s offering in the field of multi-domain operations.
Sven Heursch, Chief Digital Officer and Head of Software-Defined Defence at HENSOLDT, said: “Agentic AI is the next logical step for multi-domain operations — moving away from pure data aggregation and visualisation towards systems that allow users to interact directly with military situational awareness and control operations via voice commands. With SE3 Labs, we are gaining a strong partner for this, one that significantly strengthens our MDOcore platform.”
Through this collaboration, both companies are pursuing a strategic goal: to take decision-making superiority to the next level and secure a decisive advantage for armed forces in networked operations. Lukas Köstler, co-founder and CEO of SE3 Labs, explained: “HENSOLDT and SE3 Labs combine complementary capabilities that together create real added value: HENSOLDT’s world-class sensor technology and our AI agents, which autonomously analyse sensor data, identify correlations and derive concrete courses of action from them. This significantly reduces cognitive load and enables faster and better decisions.”
For HENSOLDT, the partnership represents a targeted strengthening of its software capabilities in the areas of software-defined defence and multi-domain operations. For its part, SE3 Labs brings leading expertise in spatial and agentic AI. The MoU covers specific programmes and ongoing tenders.
