Helsing is a new type of defence company, providing cutting-edge software and artificial intelligence to protect our democracies. Our world-leading team of engineers achieves significant capability gains from in-service platforms, using edge data-processing to enhance functional efficiencies and decision-making. This allows air forces to operate differently under the demands of software-defined warfare, such as Helsing’s AI-enabled EW for the German Eurofighter.
 
Helsing is Europe’s largest defence AI company, based in London, alongside businesses in Germany and France, and ongoing support to Ukraine. That means we have access to a European talent pool, while servicing countries’ specific sovereign requirements. We partner with industry leaders and fund our own research, undertaking capability development at the speed and scale of software development cycles.
