Rohde & Schwarz and ELT Group have announced plans to significantly expand their strategic partnership, building on earlier collaboration in naval modernization and key electronic warfare (EW) programs. The development marks a major step toward creating an integrated, multi-domain alliance aimed at strengthening global capabilities in electronic defense and information superiority.
The announcement follows the companies’ joint success on the F124 Sachsen-class frigate modernization program, a project that demonstrated strong operational synergy between the two European defense technology leaders. With both firms already contributing to prominent Italian EW initiatives, the partnership now moves into a wider international framework.
During the Berlin Security Conference, Rohde & Schwarz and ELT Group reaffirmed a shared long-term vision to deepen cooperation across the aerospace, land, space and cyber domains. The objective is to deliver advanced, sovereign, and interoperable solutions to customers worldwide while addressing rising demand for integrated defense architectures.
The expanded collaboration reflects a growing industry consensus that modern security challenges require multi-layered capabilities, seamless communication systems and superior situational awareness. By leveraging complementary portfolios and global market presence, both companies aim to contribute to next-generation systems that enhance resilience, electronic protection and data-driven decision-making.
Rohde & Schwarz and ELT Group emphasized that their partnership is positioned to support evolving defense requirements and to strengthen Europe’s role in the global electronic defense landscape.
