Welcome to the April 2025 edition of our newsletter.
This month, we unveil the latest updates to HTZ Warfare and HTZ Communications, delivering enhanced features to support radiocommunications networks. We announce new high-resolution datasets added to our cartography library, expanding modelling accuracy.
We also feature a video showcasing the benefits of our latest AI-driven RF signal identification function, which automates spectrum analysis with 99% accuracy across 20+ signal types. For customer cases, we look at Flash Networks’ acquisition of HTZ licences to support their DMR, TETRA, and Private 5G projects.
Finally, we highlight our upcoming industry collaboration with defence partners at AFCEA, Germany’s leading defence exhibition, demonstrating how to achieve operational effectiveness through integrated, multi-domain solutions. And, look at this month’s industry exhibitions.
As always, we remain committed to supporting our customers with innovation, expertise, and results.
These features are available in the latest upgrade (HTZv2025.4) and can be accessed via the CRM. If you do not have a valid maintenance contract and wish to access the latest updates, please contact your local office for further information.

Coordinated by griffity defense, this coalition of defence industry partners is committed to enhancing operational effectiveness through integrated, multi-domain solutions. The initiative is focused on enabling faster, better-informed decision-making across all command levels—from the tactical edge to strategic operations—within challenging and dynamic environments.
Set against the backdrop of Brigade 45 “Lithuania”, Germany’s future contribution to NATO forces in the region from 2027, this collaborative demonstration highlights real-world applications including a deployable command post, high-mobility command infrastructure, networked soldier technologies, digital twin planning tools, and tailored solutions for situational awareness and communications.
The purpose of this collaboration is to demonstrate how integrated solutions—comprising interoperable components from all coalition partners—can be combined to deliver a coherent, real-life capability aligned with the demands of this operational scenario.
This scenario will be showcased at the 38th AFCEA Exhibition, taking place from 27-28 May 2025 at the World Conference Centre Bonn, Germany. The event provides a platform for defence, government, and industry stakeholders to explore cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of joint and coalition operations. Register here.
