German space company OHB said on Tuesday \u200bthey had established a joint \u200cventure to develop a space-based tactical surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting system, underscoring Europe\u2019s push to strengthen military capabilities in orbit.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cmove \u200bcomes as European governments \u2060accelerate investment in \u2060space-enabled defence after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine highlighted the importance of real-time targeting and battlefield awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The \u200btwo companies are assuming joint leadership of an existing consortium also \u2060comprising Kongsberg Defence Aerospace \u2060and Hensoldt, which OHB \u200bis now joining<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The KIRK system will \u200bcombine satellite-based reconnaissance with AI-driven targeting, \u200caiming to deliver near-real-time data for military operations and shorten the time between detection and engagement<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Helsing \u2060will provide artificial intelligence, including multi-sensor data fusion and automated target recognition, while OHB \u2060will \u200coversee development and operation of \u2060end-to-end space systems<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Hensoldt \u200bwill \u200ccontribute surveillance sensors and ground \u200bstations, and \u2060Kongsberg will supply small satellites, communications and ground network capabilities<\/p>\n<p>\u2022
