What PLATH AG does

PLATH AG is the Bern, Switzerland-based member of the family-owned PLATH Group, operating as the group's jamming specialist within the PLATH Systems & Integration business division. It is part of a four-entity group (PLATH GmbH & Co. KG in Hamburg as headquarters, PLATH AG in Bern, PLATH Solutions GmbH in Gilching near Munich opened in 2025, and PLATH Ltd. in Singapore) with 600+ employees and nearly 70 years of heritage in radio reconnaissance and signals intelligence. The company designs and integrates systems for data-based crisis early warning and strategic reconnaissance across the SIGINT, COMINT, ELINT, and Electronic Warfare (EW) domains, covering land, sea, air, and cyberspace.

Its core portfolio spans Strategic, Land-based, Naval, and Airborne Intelligence Systems; the SMART Solutions family (NOMAD for strategic HF COMINT, NEMO for tactical reconnaissance, PULSAR for pulsed signal analysis); the AJS series of HF/VHF/UHF/SHF jammers (AJS 30R, AJS 2700C, AJS 6000R, AJS 2700P); the EagleEye 320 counter-UAV system; and the emerging NAUTILUS autonomous surface vessel for maritime COMINT. Underpinning the portfolio is the SDI Core software-defined intelligence hub with AI-based data fusion, alongside sensor integration with Rohde & Schwarz, IZT, Narda, and Boger equipment via standardized SOSA/MOSA-compatible interfaces, plus the 'Closing the Gap' meshed unmanned EW concept using EW Microcells and SIGFLY VTOL motherships.

The business model combines one-time sales of complete systems, subsystems, and software with multi-year professional services (consulting, project management, concept studies, training) and recurring lifecycle support (maintenance, spare parts, updates), delivered through direct enterprise field sales to ministries, federal agencies, military forces, law enforcement, coast guard, customs, and via integrator/prime-contractor channels. Pricing is custom per program and not publicly disclosed. End markets are exclusively government and defense — including the Bundesnetzagentur — with no SMB or commercial customer base.
