ELT Group And Rohde & Schwarz Sign Framework

Elettronica S.p.A. (ELT) and Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG have entered into a Framework Cooperation Agreement to explore potential business in electromagnetic warfare and defence technologies.

The accord creates a structured basis for the two firms to evaluate and pursue selected commercial opportunities across multiple operational domains, including land, airborne, space, cyber and, as a continuation of their existing arrangement, naval.

Bringing together complementary strengths in electromagnetic spectrum operations, aerospace, defence electronics and complex system integration, the partners aim to address forthcoming opportunities in Europe and internationally.

"This agreement represents an important step in strengthening our international cooperation and in enhancing our ability to respond to increasingly complex and evolving procurement and commercial requirements," said Paolo Izzo, SVP Global Sales & Business Development Elettronica spa. "With Rohde & Schwarz, a global leader with highly complementary capabilities, we can combine our respective strengths to offer more competitive solutions across the electromagnetic spectrum in today’s defense landscape."

"Rohde & Schwarz is pleased to enter into this framework with Elettronica," said Ralf Watamaniuk, Vice President Sales and Business Development, Rohde & Schwarz. "The agreement provides a strong basis to build on our successful collaboration and assess where our combined capabilities can create value for customers operating in increasingly complex and demanding defence environments, particularly in the areas of counter-UAS and ground-based ESM."

The framework outlines common principles for assessing projects, aligning technical and commercial approaches, and defining potential workshare based on each company’s technological strengths. Any individual collaboration will be set out in separate project-specific agreements.
