EADS Defence & Security is investing in high-end radar technologies
EADS Defence & Security (DS) has invested in an extension to its Microwave Factory (MWF) in Ulm and has thus increased its high-tech capacity for specialised high-performance electronics, e.g. next generation radars, to reach a leading level worldwide.
In this context, Defence Electronics, an integrated activity of DS, has invested 1.5 million euros to extend its skills and capacity for the production of high-frequency modules under clean-room conditions. From the beginning of this year the Microwave Factory now has about 2,000 square metres of clean-room space available. Approximately 200 employees are working here on the development and production of high-frequency and microwave modules which are intended, in particular, for the self-protection system of the European Eurofighter combat aircraft or for the TerraSAR-X satellite radar.
