What Fei-Elcom Tech, Inc. does
FEI-Elcom Tech, Inc. is a US defense electronics company that designs and manufactures high-performance RF and microwave signal generation, frequency conversion, and receiver products for electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT/ELINT), combat electromagnetic environment simulation (CEESIM), and satellite communications (SATCOM) applications. Founded in 1995 and headquartered at 260 Union Street, Northvale, New Jersey, the company operates as a publicly traded subsidiary of Frequency Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEIM) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified, IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 compliant, and qualified to MIL-STD-202/461/810 and RTCA/DO-160 standards.
The company's product portfolio spans five core lines — synthesizers (UFS-18 ultrafast, VMESG-2000 VME, VPXDFS-2000, DFS-2000 rugged), up/down converters (VPXST-6501/VPXTR-6501, SIDC-6000, SATDC-1000/3000, SATUC-2000/4000), RF front-end receivers (SIR-4000 series), phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillators (SPDRO), and the FlxGen receiver family — offered in rack-mount, VME, and VPX form factors and aligned to DoD MOSA and SOSA open-architecture standards. Underlying technology combines MIC, MMIC, and hybrid thin/thick-film RF design with DDS-in-PLL synthesizer architectures and FPGA logic to deliver sub-microsecond switching speeds (100-250 ns), ultra-low phase noise (-147 dBc @ 100 MHz offset), and ultra-wideband coverage from 0.5 to 67 GHz. Thousands of these units are deployed in airborne, seaborne, and rugged terrestrial military platforms used by the US DoD and allied forces.
FEI-Elcom Tech sells primarily through direct engagement with US defense prime contractors and government agencies (BAE, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, L3 Communications, Raytheon, General Dynamics, NAVAIR, Rockwell Collins, Comtech EF Data, US DoD), supplemented by a global network of regional sales representatives and distributors covering 20+ countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Revenue is generated through custom and COTS hardware sales on long-lifecycle defense programs (15+ year production runs), with contract-based non-public pricing, a standard 12-month warranty, and extended warranty options.
