Countering the Swarm: How RF Amplifier Technology Is Reshaping Defense

As drone swarms, electronic warfare (EW), and nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) threats continue to evolve, conventional single-target defense approaches are no longer sufficient. Directed RF energy is emerging as a critical technology for countering these modern threats, while advances in RF amplifier technology are enabling greater power, efficiency, and deployment flexibility.

 

Our latest white paper, Countering the Swarm: How RF Amplifier Technology Is Reshaping Defense, explores the innovations driving next-Generation defense and test systems, including:

 

  • Why directed RF energy is becoming the preferred response to swarm and electronic warfare threats.
  • How increasing MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 field strength requirements are driving higher amplifier performance.
  • The progression from GaN-on-silicon to GaN-on-diamond technology and its impact on solid-state power density.
  • Advanced cooling and power-combining techniques that enable greater power output in smaller, more mobile platforms.

 

As solid-state amplifier technology continues to advance, defense organizations and test laboratories can benefit from higher performance, improved reliability, and enhanced operational flexibility. This white paper provides valuable insight into the technologies shaping the future of electromagnetic defense and RF power systems.
