On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, German company Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG announced that, together with its subsidiary Schönhofer Sales and Engineering GmbH, it will present its integrated portfolio of the latest signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic warfare (EW) solutions at booth 4B21 at AOC Europe 2026 in Helsinki, scheduled for May 19–21 this year.

The complete SIGINT/EW systems portfolio is designed to help armed forces and intelligence services detect, understand, and control activity in the electromagnetic spectrum in a highly dynamic environment.
In today’s world ‒ from swarms of unmanned systems and disruption of navigation systems to increasingly connected electronic warfare environments ‒ armed forces need:
- resilient communications systems,
- reliable situational awareness,
- instant data-driven decision-making.
To succeed, they need realistic mission training tools, real-time situational awareness that captures every signal and turns it into actionable intelligence, and combat-proven EW capabilities to block, disrupt, or protect the electromagnetic spectrum.
Rohde & Schwarz delivers all these capabilities from a single source ‒ from signal generation and testing, through detection, location, and classification of electromagnetic emissions and their jamming, to data fusion supported by machine learning systems, artificial intelligence, and secure encrypted communications.
Cooperation with Ukraine
The partnership with Infozahyst, a Kyiv-based Ukrainian research and production center, combines expertise in electronic warfare with systems and electromagnetic signal libraries that have been tested in real combat conditions. This enables the rapid development of intelligent jamming solutions that are already in service and are attracting interest from European NATO partners.
The joint work has resulted, among other things, in a highly mobile counter-UAS system and an armored mobile platform ‒ both designed for survivability on the front line, the simultaneous engagement of multiple targets, and long-range jamming. This cooperation demonstrates how integrated research and development, shared production resources, and transparent auditing can transform an urgent operational need into a ready and credible military solution that not only increases combat effectiveness but also genuinely saves lives on the battlefield.
Test and measurement solutions
Rohde & Schwarz will also present its test and measurement equipment, with a particular focus on advanced radar signal simulators. The R&S Pulse Sequencer software, combined with a Rohde & Schwarz vector signal generator, provides a robust tool for testing EW and radar receivers. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based solutions ensure short delivery times, scalable architecture for complex scenarios, and an ITAR-free path, avoiding restrictions under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
Visitors to the exhibition will be able to see the multichannel FSWX analyzer in action, measuring both the input and output of a simulated Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) jammer, enabling a full assessment of its performance and effectiveness.
Expert session
One highlight will be the expert session “Drone Platforms for ISR: Use Cases, Challenges, and Solutions for Signal Hunters,” led by Dr. Corbett Rowell, Senior Director of Research and Development at Rohde & Schwarz. The session will take place on May 21 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
