What COJOT does

Alaris COJOT (legal entity Alaris Cojot Oy) is a Finnish designer and manufacturer of radio frequency antennas founded in 1986 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, operating as a division of the UK-registered holding company Alaris The RF Technology Group Ltd. The company specializes in VHF, UHF, and SHF antenna systems for tactical communications, electronic warfare, counter-UAS, C-IED, and spectrum monitoring applications, with products organized around two pillars: wideband and narrowband antennas (e.g., the WB30512XM and WB30512M vehicular VHF-UHF antennas covering 20-520 MHz) and 'SMART Antenna' solutions centered on the Steerable Beam Antenna (SBA) family (e.g., SBA2456DB-90, SBA2456XDB, SBA4450B, SBA1327B) with electronically steerable beam capabilities. Deployments span vehicle/mobile, man-portable, fixed site, and tactical platforms, and the company offers bespoke custom design services developed through close collaboration with end users.

The business operates as a B2B hardware vendor targeting defense agencies, military organizations, and aerospace contractors, with revenue generated through direct enterprise sales of custom-designed antenna solutions on a quote-based pricing model. Customer engagement occurs through direct sales consultation, defense procurement programs, and industry events such as AOC Europe, with named end-customer wins including Airbus Defence and Space's selection of the Wideband VHF/UHF Antenna for the Eurodrone Ground Station. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial benchmark; marketing is concentrated on a company newsroom, the corporate website, and a LinkedIn presence, and the product roadmap is evidenced by 2026 launches of the SBA1060B and DF-A0389 alongside a major SBA Software Release v3.0.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Thales: European defense and aerospace prime with major EW, radar, and tactical communications franchises. Competes with COJOT where its larger EW subsystems incorporate antenna content, but Thales' offerings are part of a much wider defense electronics portfolio.
• Hensoldt: German defense sensor house with strong positions in radar, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence. Comparable as a European incumbent offering EW and sensor antennas, but at a much larger scale and across a broader mission system portfolio than COJOT.
• BAE Systems: UK-headquartered global defense prime with EW, communications, and intelligence systems. Relevant as a potential partner or competitor to COJOT in European defense RF programs, though BAE's RF content is one part of a far larger platform prime.
• Rohde & Schwarz: German technology incumbent with deep RF, EW, and signal-intelligence capabilities, including tactical radio and direction-finding antennas. Overlaps with COJOT in EW and tactical communications but operates a vastly broader portfolio spanning test & measurement, broadcasting, and cyber.
• L3Harris Technologies: US defense prime with substantial EW, spectrum management, and tactical communications businesses. Comparable to COJOT in RF antenna and EW subsystems but operating at significantly greater scale and across multiple domains.
• Leonardo: Italian defense prime with a strong European EW and tactical communications portfolio, including sensors and antennas. Comparable in adjacent EW/defense electronics but offers a much broader helicopter, avionics, and systems-integration portfolio.

Direct peers

• CAES (Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions): US-headquartered defense electronics manufacturer producing antennas, RF subsystems, and integrated EW solutions for aerospace and defense. Highly comparable as a specialist provider of mission-critical RF and antenna hardware to defense primes and platform integrators.
• Comrod: Norwegian manufacturer of tactical and broadband antennas for military communications, EW, and naval platforms. Directly comparable niche competitor serving defense customers across vehicle, manpack, fixed-site, and maritime platforms with similar VHF/UHF product families.
• Alaris Antennas: Sister division within the Alaris Group specializing in antenna solutions for defense and commercial applications. The most directly comparable peer because it shares the same corporate parent, RF engineering base, defense customer set, and antenna product ethos as COJOT.

Emerging players

• RADA Electronic Industries: Israeli provider of tactical radar and EW sensors for active protection, counter-UAS, and force protection. Comparable as a niche defense electronics player addressing C-UAS and EW end markets, though RADA's strength is in radar rather than antennas.
