It’s been a few months since the acquisition of Landguard Systems by Roke – a great time to reflect on how these two innovation powerhouses have formed a strength greater than the sum of their parts.
In fact, the Landguard and Roke capability has been changing the face of Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) together even prior to the acquisition.
Roke’s EM-Vis Deceive® Electromagnetic Attack (EA) solutions remains a unique sovereign capability made possible by Landguard’s Software Defined Radio (SDR).
In addition, the combination of Roke’s Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities pedigree and Landguard’s high-performance technologies designed specifically to comply with the Modular Payload standards creates a unique UK sovereign portfolio of defence, national security and law enforcement products. These rarely combined capabilities offer industry first opportunities for defence and national security customers.
Given these strong synergies, this partnership looks set to advance both technological innovations in the Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) and Software Defined Radio specialisms, as well as advancing cutting edge technology across other areas of defence.
As Landguard settles into the Roke business, evidence of their joint technological prowess and industry experience will ensure Roke continues to shape the future of global intelligence and defence technologies today and into the future.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
This article describes how Roke’s acquisition of Landguard Systems has combined complementary strengths in electromagnetic warfare, software-defined radio and modular payload technology to create a unique UK sovereign capability. It highlights how the two organisations’ long-standing collaboration now enables a stronger, integrated portfolio that will drive future defence and national security innovation.
