Telephonics has been providing governments, military and commercial companies with a wide range of cutting-edge technology solutions in aerospace and defense. For over eight decades, Telephonics products have been deployed in diverse environments. The company’s core technologies include maritime, weather and ground surveillance radar systems, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) interrogators, as well as airborne, vehicle and wireless intercommunications systems that are designed to perform in the most rugged and challenging of environments.

Kevin McSweeney, President of Telephonics told Nation Shield on the sidelines of the Dubai Airshow that the

breadth and versatility of Telephonics’ product portfolio provides the opportunity to meet a wide variety of technology and manufacturing needs of OEMs, government, military and commercial companies around the globe.

“Telephonics technologies are deployed across a wide range of environments, including air, land and sea-based applications supporting an extremely wide customer base, including aerospace and defense, government and commercial sectors,” McSweeney said.

“Telephonics’ unique understanding of radar technology, data correlation and sensor integration, along with mission requirements has been developed over many decades of experience and allows us to provide mature, sophisticated, yet innovative maritime and ground surveillance radar, IFF and communications systems solutions to support mission requirements worldwide.”

On Telephonics extensive participation at the Dubai Airshow, he said Telephonics will be featuring NetCom vehicle intercommunications and TruLink wireless intercommunications systems, which enhance situational awareness by enabling warfighters to manage voice communications with ANC technology. “We will be displaying our Secure Digital Intercommunications (SDI) system, a lightweight and low-power solution that is scalable and versatile for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.”

Telephonics is also displaying its latest IFF technologies, including the Passive Detection and Reporting System (PDRS), which is a multi-channel Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) and Mode 5 Level 2 squitter reporting and cueing system. PDRS acts as a receive-only system that provides situational awareness to civil and military aircraft, effectively eliminating radio frequency interrogation transmissions in the airspace. “We are also pleased to debut our MOSAIC Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA)-based radar technology at the show,” he added.

Telephonics stands by its products throughout their lifecycle and is fully committed to ensuring our customers are able to effectively and optimally engage with the technology.
He continued: “We offer a variety of training courses, either onsite at a customer’s location or in our own training facilities with the goal being that customers acquire the knowledge and experience they need to be able to confidently and thoroughly perform operational and maintenance tasks.”

McSweeney said today’s unpredictable and ever-evolving global environments and associated risks require innovative, yet reliable solutions. Telephonics’ advanced wired and wireless communications systems provide the digital backbone for defense platforms worldwide. Referring to the challenges posed by terrorism to security, he said: “Telephonics is fully aware of and actively engaged in ensuring that our cyber-resilient products and technologies are meeting the unique requirements associated with battling the threats that global terrorism and other illicit activity can bring.”
