Meeting Tomorrow’s Challenges
Rohde & Schwarz plays an integral role in meeting the challenges tomorrow will bring. We’re one of the world’s leading innovators in electronic test and measurement, radiocommunications, and radiomonitoring and radiolocation. The scope and performance of our technologies are second to none.
Aerospace and defense programs rely on the unsurpassed performance and quality of Rohde & Schwarz solutions. Since we keep all manufacturing in-house, we can maintain the tight control on quality that only co-located engineering and manufacturing can provide. We also provide a unique level of support. With facilities in over 70 countries, comprehensive service, and the ability to serve any need including custom solutions and systems, we not only win on performance – we win on support too.
The force behind innovation
Rohde & Schwarz has been developing test & measurement solutions for 75 years, starting with our first frequency meter in 1933. We’ve been instrumental in moving the technological benchmark – with developments such as state-of-the art TOI performance and 120 MHz analysis bandwidth in our high performance spectrum analyzers. High-precision network analysis up to 500 GHz, innovative signal generators with up to two signal paths in one instrument (including 2 x 2 MIMO realtime fading), oscilloscopes with an industry-leading acquisition rate of one million waveforms per second, power meters with smart sensor technology, and the unique R&S®PR100 handheld radiomonitoring receiver are further examples of pacesetting Rohde & Schwarz products.
For decades, Rohde & Schwarz solutions have been in use by military services and government agencies. Aerospace and defense contractors use our test and measurement solutions in cutting-edge R&D, production, and operational support programs alike. We work collaboratively with the aerospace and defense industry to bring focused solutions that meet our customers’ exacting requirements. Our developments are integral parts of many of the most cutting-edge defense programs in the world today.
Confidence in Rohde & Schwarz solutions is underscored by the numerous direct government contracts won over the last decade. As an example, the U.S. armed forces awarded Rohde & Schwarz contracts totaling more than 5000 units (4000 army, 800 navy, 500 air force) for the R&S®SMB100A signal generator, which will replace their legacy analog signal generators.

Test & measurement technology is key to the proper functioning of electronic systems in all branches of the military
