Emerging ground threats require rapid mobility coupled with weapons systems that are lethal and can survive advanced attacks. Connected, integrated and synchronized command and control (C2) is essential.

Spectrum Control specializes in designing, producing and integrating critical RF/microwave components and subassemblies that underpin critical weapons systems. Our solutions are integral to major radar, communications, fire control, missiles, and signals intelligence platforms.

Command & Control

Communications and situational awareness depend on reliable Command and Control operations, which oversee multiple systems on multiple platforms.

Spectrum Control is a critical part of systems such as the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), which give military commanders the battlespace agility they need to transform knowledge into actions at the right time and place. And we are well-positioned to add value to Next-Generation Command & Control (NGC2) and other emerging systems.

Representative Applications

  • Battlefield Management
  • Blue Force/Red Force Tracking
  • Unit-level Intelligence
  • Tactical Communications
Military Radar

Radar & Missile Defense

Reliable, precise, and rapid processing of threat data requires the highest-performing, most reliable RF and microwave components available to the warfighter today. And the emergence of new hypersonic threats will put even more pressure on systems to compress decision times. Spectrum Control answers that need.

Representative Applications

  • Mobile ground radar
  • Counter-mortar radar
  • Approach control radar
  • Missile warning systems
  • Surface search radars
  • Battlefield awareness
  • Air surveillance

Ground Platforms

& Mobile Systems

Expeditionary forces need support for both legacy and alternative power sources for vehicles, command posts, and mobile C2 systems. The current and future battlefield will require smart, intelligent, flexible, and programmable power systems that can ensure reliable, uninterrupted power.

Spectrum Control offers a broad portfolio of smart power, power distribution systems, and power supplies for ground platforms. We also offer innovative HEMP protection specifically developed for the needs of mobile platforms.

Representative Applications

  • Integrated battle command systems (IBCS)
  • Multi-function electronic warfare, terrestrial layer segment
  •

Battlefield Communications

No plan survives contact with the enemy. Flexibility and rapid adaptation are achieved through reliable and secure communications from the squad to the battalion level.

Spectrum Control specializes in precise, high fidelity RF connectors, filters, and subassemblies that enable, end-to-end connectivity in harsh and austere environments and secure those systems from EM interference and signal jamming.

Representative Applications

  • Tactical, Multiband Radios
  • Vehicle Communication Networks
  • Blue Force/Red Force Tracking
  • Situational Awareness and Navigation

Up time & Protection
of Assets

Spectrum Control helps land-domain systems stay operational in harsh, contested environments by hardening mission electronics against EMI, power disturbances, and survivability-driven threats. Our EMI protection and HEMP/EMP filtering mitigate susceptibility and reduce the risk of mission degradation or component damage, while rugged power distribution (PDUs) supports stable delivery, protection, and recovery for critical loads. The result is higher readiness for platforms and nodes supporting manpack/vehicle EW/SIGINT, RCVs, C2/BM (IBCS) architectures, and counter‑UAS—where downtime directly impacts mission success.

Sensor to Effect

We enable faster, more reliable sensor-to-effect chains by preserving signal integrity from RF collection through processing and onward to decision and engagement. Our high-performance RF filters and passive RF components improve selectivity, manage co-site interference, and protect sensitive receiver front ends—critical for EW/SIGINT sensing, counter‑UAS detection/DF, and comms performance in dense spectrum conditions. Where high bandwidth and EMI immunity are paramount, rugged optical interconnect supports low-latency data movement between sensors, processors, and mission systems helping operators turn detections into actions with confidence.

System of Systems

Modern land operations demand integrated, modular architectures that connect sensors, C2, platforms, and effectors across distributed formations. Spectrum Control supports these “system-of-systems” designs with building blocks that reduce integration risk and improve interoperability across vehicles, shelters, unmanned nodes, and expeditionary sites—especially in IBCS-aligned environments and mixed fleets that combine manned platforms, RCVs, and counter‑UAS nodes. By combining protected power distribution, hardened EMI/HEMP filtering, resilient RF signal conditioning, and high-integrity optical links, we help programs scale capability and maintain performance as networks become more complex and contested.
