Electronic Warfare

CPI EDB products amplify incoming signals from enemy radar or communications systems to enable the electronic warfare system to deceive or disable threats, protecting soldiers, ground installations and ships.

Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) Systems:

CPI EDB produce vacuum electron devices (VEDs) – specifically, helix traveling wave tubes (TWTs) – and high-power transmitter subsystems, respectively, for the electronic warfare market. CPI EDB's ECM components are designed to deliver superior mean time between failure (MTBF) rates.

The electronic warfare market utilizes CPI EDB's VEDs for threat-protection systems for ships, aircraft and high-value land assets, protecting them against radar-guided munitions that utilize semi-active or active radar to acquire their targets. Incorporating CPI EDB's electronic warfare products, these threat-protection systems can be deployed within an electronic warfare platform, included in an external pod or used as a stand-alone decoy.

Counter UAVs:

The use of high-power microwave (HPM) techniques in electronic warfare is growing. As the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) market has thrived, and with the integration of artificial intelligence and swarming capabilities into these systems, counter UAS (C-UAS) strategies are required. HPM systems play a crucial role in tracking and eliminating these threats to allied warfighters and their support facilities and critical infrastructure. CPI EDB provides state-of-the-art broadband and high-power amplifiers to enable this capability.
