What Resonant Sciences does

Resonant Sciences is a privately held U.S. defense technology company headquartered in Beavercreek, Ohio, that designs, builds, and tests advanced radomes, conformal antennas, mission electronics, and RF/EO/IR measurement systems for military aircraft and adjacent platforms. The company's portfolio is organized into three capability areas: Advanced Apertures (dielectric and FSS radomes, flight-qualified antennas, and RF-sensitive aero structures); Mission Systems (concealed communications, interference mitigation, GPS De-Jam, alternative PNT, and electronic warfare capabilities, supported by custom board and ASIC development); and Signature Systems and Diagnostics (RCS and material measurement systems, EO/IR modeling and simulation, and the proprietary RAZR radar measurement platform). Proprietary products include the RAZR measurement system, RadarMan II Pulsed-IF acquisition unit, Boise GPS De-Jam system, Polestar NAVWAR sensor, Peregrine OMS-compliant IR sensor emulator, and EMP/SPIDR/ONYX material measurement product lines.

The company generates revenue through direct hardware sales and long-term sustainment contracts with U.S. military programs and defense primes, complemented by RF/EO/IR testing and measurement services sold to internal R&D teams, sponsors, and production customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contract cadences typical of defense procurement. Distribution is entirely direct, with the company co-locating facilities near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to support relationship-based enterprise sales to U.S. Air Force and broader DoD customers, defense primes, and a smaller commercial aviation customer set for in-flight entertainment radomes. The company holds AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications and operates more than 200,000 sq ft of engineering and manufacturing space across six locations in Ohio, Colorado, West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia, and North Carolina, with an additional 125,000 sq ft facility opening in 2026.

Broad incumbents

• L3Harris Technologies: Large diversified defense prime with leading positions in EW, GPS resilience (including CRPA-based anti-jam), and avionics. Sets competitive baseline against which Resonant's Boise/Polestar must win.
• RTX (Raytheon): Major aerospace and defense prime with significant radome, EW, and radar franchises. Competes as both customer (defense prime integrating Resonant content) and potential competitor in aperture and EW technologies.
• Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions: Diversified defense electronics and specialty components supplier with deep content across military platforms. Comparable in supplying rugged electronic subsystems and aerospace structures into primes.
• Kratos Defense & Security Solutions: Public mid-tier defense technology company with unmanned systems, microwave electronics, and EW offerings. Similar size band and high-velocity culture, with overlapping exposure to DoD priority programs.
• Northrop Grumman: Large defense prime with leadership in low-observable platforms, signature management, and integrated mission systems. Closely overlaps with Resonant's signature and EW value proposition.
• Mercury Systems: Public mid-tier defense electronics company providing mission-critical processing, RF, and EW subsystems. Comparable as a mission-systems supplier into defense primes, though broader and more diversified than Resonant.
• Leonardo DRS: Mid-tier U.S. defense electronics provider (publicly traded under Leonardo S.p.A.) with EW, sensors, and integrated mission systems. Overlaps with Resonant's Mission Systems and EW positioning.
• BAE Systems Electronic Systems: Segment of BAE Systems focused on EW, communications, and sensor electronics for U.S. and allied militaries. Comparable in EW and resilient-PNT positioning against Resonant's Mission Systems line.

Direct peers

• Ducommun Incorporated: Aerospace structures manufacturer with a defense radome and antenna product line supplying military fixed-wing platforms. Directly comparable in radome manufacturing scope and customer overlap with U.S. defense primes.
• SRC Inc. Private, mid-sized U.S. defense contractor focused on radar, EW, and intelligence systems for the DoD. Closest comparable in size, culture, and customer set, and competes in similar contested-spectrum and signature-related missions.
