Terma Aerospace and Defense Systems

Terma is a leading Danish aerospace, defense, and security group. Founded in 1949, it has grown from a small manufacturing company into a global technology leader providing advanced electronic systems for military and civil applications. The company is renowned for its radar systems, self-protection suites for aircraft, and components for the F-35 Lightning II program.

Headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, Terma operates manufacturing and engineering facilities internationally to support global defense contracts.
