The company has funded the development of anadvanced ground plane antenna system for militaryand commercial vehicles.

The focus and attention to this detail has resulted in asignificant improvement in system performance.

The ECS bespoke antenna




The ECS EMC chamber enablesits engineering team to designand meticulously test all productsand antenna configurations.

The testing



A full range of ‘Train the Trainer’ courses.

These support all levels including operations andmaintenance at a location of your choice.

• ECM operations course• ECM management/supervising course• Threat analysis management course

The training




ECS has provided an overseas customer with anadvanced capability to counter RCIEDs using man-pack and vehicle-borne installations.

The man-pack is configured by the end user as acarry-forward for IED tasks. ECS also provides thecustomer with frequent fill updates to counteremerging threats.

ECS equipment is being utilised to train a new tacticalEOD unit in the country.
