Leveraging the benefits of COTS products and developing them for defence applications, PPM Systems uses extensive domain knowledge to form complete RF over fibre architecture solutions for the maritime ESM (Electronic Support Measures), EW (Electronic Warfare), CEMA (Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities) and C-UAS / C- USV (Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems / Common Unmanned Surface Vehicle) domains.

These solutions will be available for delegates to explore at the Combined Naval Event taking place from the 21st to 23rd May 2024 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre, where a wide cross-section of attendees from international navies, defence industry and academia will explore how to align in common purpose to ensure naval capabilities match to the strategic, operational and technological opportunities and demands of the future.

The industry knowledge within PPM Systems ensures seamless signal transmission even in demanding maritime and land environments, whilst providing exceptional signal quality and performance alongside antenna positioning freedom.

The solutions are - and continue to be - developed in alignment with open standards such as Open VPX, with PPM Systems poised to enable EW capabilities through ruggedised and dynamically reconfigurable signal distribution, providing a step change in capability.
