Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has been awarded a contract by NATO’s Naval Forces Sensor and Weapons Accuracy Check Sites (FORACS) to modernize their testing capabilities for critical radar and electronic support measures (ESM) systems. This agreement will enable the deployment of Radar Target Generator and Electronic Warfare (EW) testing solutions at NATO Navy bases, thereby ensuring the calibration and maintenance of radar systems and the assessment of ESM effectiveness. Modern military and naval forces rely on the precision and reliability of their radar and ESM systems to maintain situational awareness, achieve accurate targeting, and detect threats promptly. Given the escalating complexity and speed of electronic warfare threats, defense organizations must have advanced, high-fidelity test environments. These environments need to replicate real-world scenarios, simulate dynamic multi-emitter signals, model advanced threats, and employ closed-loop testing techniques. Keysight’s Radar Target Generator and EW solutions are specifically designed to meet these rigorous demands. They will allow NATO FORACS to conduct thorough and rigorous assessments, optimizing the operational readiness of radar and ESM systems across all member nations. The contract includes the integration and delivery of next-generation Radar Target Generators and EW threat simulators, ensuring enhanced accuracy verification and comprehensive system performance testing in complex electromagnetic environments. Notably, the Radar Target Generator is built using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Keysight components, with customized firmware and a graphical user interface developed entirely in Europe to align with NATO’s unique requirements. This localized development underscores Keysight's commitment to meeting the specific needs of European defense networks. According to the NATO FORACS Office in NATO Headquarters in Brussels, “We are very pleased with the placement of this contract. It will provide crucial equipment to restore our core radar and ESM testing capabilities, ensuring they can adapt to the evolving demands of our users.” Thierry Locquette, Vice President and General Manager of EMEA at Keysight, commented, "NATO’s capability to verify and enhance the accuracy of its radar and ESM systems is essential for mission success in today’s highly contested electromagnetic spectrum. We are honored to provide the cutting-edge solutions that will enable NATO FORACS to maintain peak sensor performance, ensuring operational superiority for allied forces. Our Radar Target Generator solution was developed in Europe through close collaboration with local R&D centers and European technology partners. This ensures a realistic, flexible, and future-ready test capability tailored to NATO’s advancing defense needs."
