Electronic Warfare

Electronic Warfare (EW) involves the use of the electromagnetic spectrum, or directed energy to control the spectrum, for attack purposes or to impede enemy attacks. The range of EW applications has expanded dramatically in recent years; examples include missile guidance, radio controlled improvised explosive devices, stealth technologies, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We distribute broadband microwave and millimeter-wave products from top vendors that are used in EW systems.
