Information and sensor systems
A superior information position provides a crucial tactical advantage. It facilitates effective management of the military organisation and the deployment of resources. We help by devising and developing technology.

The Netherlands’ digital fortitude and resilience
Almost all vital processes and systems in the Netherlands are either partly or fully digitised. Digital fortitude, or cyber resilience, is therefore essential. This is why our scientists work every day on measures aimed at prevention, detection, response and recovery.

Successful Ground Test Shows Potential for Satellite Identification
It’s getting awfully crowded in space. Every year, businesses and organisations send an increasing number of new satellites into orbit, and many of them cannot be identified after they’re launched. Researchers at TNO wondered if there’s something we can do to address the challenge. And experts from TNO have successfully tested a viable solution. We spoke to team member Fabrizio Silvestri, Optical System Engineer, to find out more.


Earlier detection of hypersonic missiles with TNO technology means more time for interception
TNO is active in all phases, ranging from novel interceptors and new concepts for Integrated Air and Missile Defense to advanced sensor solutions. Novel sensor technology is necessary as a successful kill-chain will push current radar systems to its limits.


First overview of cyberattack techniques by AI against AI
All international trend reports view Artificial Intelligence as the most important disruptive technology of the coming years. Where a new technology develops, new vulnerabilities also arise. And AI is no exception.


The PQC Migration Handbook
Commissioned by the AIVD, TNO has compiled a handbook together with CWI. This handbook offers organisations advice and concrete steps to mitigate the risk of quantum computers to cryptography.


Norwegian-Dutch nanosatellites successfully launched
Two Norwegian-Dutch nanosatellites were successfully launched today. “Birkeland” and “Huygens” were placed in orbit around the earth by the company SpaceX.
