The engineering behind spectrum dominance.
A group covering every part of the spectrum contest, from one engineering base. Defence, homeland security, commercial.
Signal processing and RF engineering are the foundation. The group has worked in the spectrum since 2003. Every capability draws on the same specialists and the same measurement and test infrastructure. The requirements of the field set the standard.
Four capability areas run outward from one engineering base. Each detects, exploits, denies or protects: finding a signal, identifying what produced it, removing its use, holding your own links.
Jamming, denial and control across the RF spectrum, against hostile links, remote-controlled devices and uncrewed systems.
Interception, identification and geolocation across cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and VHF/UHF, with selective effects.
Passive detection and classification by sound, including threats that emit no RF.
Communications that hold under jamming and heavy congestion.

Communications that hold under jamming and heavy congestion.
The spectrum is contested in both directions. Systems act on one another, and each has to keep its own links working under interference.
Wider coverage.
Broader frequency coverage, and additional sensing modalities.
The intelligence layer.
Classification, fusion and spectrum forensics: turning observed spectrum into usable intelligence.
Satellite.
Detection, geolocation and timing on satellite links, down to the modem.
The group works as an engineering partner. The customer owns the requirement and the decision. The group owns the engineering and the recommendation.
Markets.
Force and asset protection, and denial of hostile links and uncrewed systems. Requirements are set by operational use and move with the threat.
Border control, critical-infrastructure protection and public order. Systems operate in civil spectrum alongside public networks, under national rules on what may lawfully be intercepted or denied.
Two capabilities cross over directly: acoustic detection for infrastructure and industrial monitoring, and interference immunity for connectivity in congested spectrum.
Position.
The group's position depends on the programme.
Prime
The group delivers and integrates the whole system, direct to the customer.
Partner
A specialist contribution inside a larger integrated programme.
Specialist
A capability supplied into a prime’s system, under their lead.
Scope.
The response is sized to what the requirement calls for.
Off-the-shelf
A proven product answers the requirement as it ships.
Adaptation
The product is engineered to fit the setup, including to interoperate with equipment already fielded.
Major R&D
The requirement exceeds the standard range, and a new capability is developed to meet it.
