Hardware and Services

The two core businesses of COM DEV USA are space qualified passive microwave hardware and engineering services. From stand alone microwave components to densely integrated subsystems, COM DEV USA's capability spans frequencies from UHF to V-Band, including both input and output power levels. Proprietary software tools enable the rapid simulation and analysis of the most demanding performance functions. These designs tools are so exact that space flight units can be manufactured directly from CAD drawings eliminating the cost and schedule impact of engineering iterations.
