About Our Team

The Intelligent RF Communications group provides knowledge, experience, and products that enable Electromagnetic Protection, Attack, and Support in the RF communication domain to secure and maintain warfighter freedom of action and maneuver in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

We develop high reliability communications and intelligent EW solutions with sense, learn, and adapt capabilities that achieve spectrum dominance for military applications.

The Advanced RF Systems Department is focused on development of RF systems for a wide variety of wireless communication, radar, and EW missions.

Our expertise includes the ability to design, develop, and produce (low-rate production) custom RF electronics for terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne missions.
