EMS Defense & Space Solutions Overview

Today’s battlespace utilizes communications to connect the sensor to the warfighter, and the warfighter to command, control, and situational awareness centers. This net-centric approach requires RF systems that are discrete and operate in harsh environments, and EMS Defense & Space Systems delivers. EMS’ unique agile beam, point-to-point, point-to-multi-point, and SATCOM reach back solutions provide highly efficient, low profile, low size/weight/power microwave systems from aperture to IF.

Electronic countermeasures and surveillance through radars are key assets in the fight. EMS’ high power, low loss, and high performance passive and active microwave system elements provide mission-enabling capability in small form factors. EMS enables innovative, low SWaP, value-added co-engineered subsystems with fully integrated front-ends, active and passive integrated array solutions and search and fire control. We design and manufacture solutions for:

• Airborne: sensors and self protection systems for large and small manned and unmanned aircraft
• Naval: systems and sensors
• Ground: systems and sensors

Precision strike missiles and guided munitions rely on microwave systems to provide all-weather and mobile target capabilities for low-cost single- or multi-mode seekers. EMS’ trans-twist and unique slotted waveguide (amongst other technology) antennas provide rugged, highly efficient, and conformal solutions for these assets. Our beam forming networks and mechanical innovation make them work within the tight packaging constraints of these seekers.

EMS incorporates lean, quality, SPC and other processes into the design and manufacturing of its smart weapons programs, enabling high-volume production at low per-unit costs.

EMS Technologies’ antenna systems for commercial aircraft in support of commercial in-flight entertainment (IFE) and broadband connectivity (IFC) are specialties that long ago established us as a proven market leader. EMS Technologies has a solution that can meet your connectivity needs, offering Inmarsat and Iridium satellite communications, as well as Direct Broadcast Satellite receive for TV and Ku-band satellite two-way broadband connectivity.

Space assets play an increasingly vital role in communications and remote sensing for national security, civil and commercial applications.  Serving national security space programs such as AEHF and WGS, international environmental monitoring programs such as Poseidon and GPM, and direct broadcast programs for DirecTV and Sirius-XM Radio, EMS Technologies Space solutions close the most demanding links.   Our low loss and high power microwave circulators, switches, phase shifters, beam formers, and power combiners enable the lowest receive path noise figure and highest transmit power in space with unmatched performance and reliability from L-band through W-band.
