Powering the next generation of defence development

Defence is rapidly evolving, from the rise of unmanned systems and AI-driven platforms to fully integrated network warfare. In this data-intensive environment, engineers need solutions that deliver precise, reliable, real-time insights to stay ahead.

HBK supports defence innovation with robust sensors, scalable data acquisition (DAQ) systems, and smart analytics, empowering both R&D and manufacturing to stay ahead of emerging challenges.

Whether developing UAVs, strengthening naval fleet performance, or enabling predictive maintenance with machine learning, HBK’s solutions ensure mission-critical military and defence systems operate with precision, reliability, and high performance – even under extreme conditions.

In defence, precision is critical. HBK’s high-fidelity sensors and tools ensure reliable, repeatable testing with right-first-time results

Real-time data and analytics detect issues early and predict failures, enabling timely maintenance and reducing downtime for air and naval fleets

From jet engines to hypersonic tests, HBK excels in extreme conditions—resisting heat, pressure, and interference to keep data accurate and systems mission-ready

Global manufacturing hubs ensure timely delivery of mission-critical components, maintaining continuity across complex defence supply chains—even in volatile conditions

Looking at the opportunity to meet our needs

“We saw a willingness to respond to our needs. To add various capabilities, and to add details to the mode that maybe weren’t there today, but that they would look at the opportunity to meet those needs. So we found that to be very useful.”
