Oscilion

What Oscilion does

Oscilion is a Swedish defense technology firm that develops software-defined electronic warfare (EW) and counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) solutions for military and government customers. Founded in 1993 as a ground-based radar jamming project commissioned by Swedish Defence Procurement (FMV), the company now operates two core product families: the OutGuard C-UAS system (comprising Drone Jammer, Mounted Jammer, Drone Tracker, Pilot Locator, and Tactical C2 modules covering 150 MHz to 8 GHz), and the Astor radar jamming series (Astor II–IV) built on proprietary Direct RF and Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) technology. A complementary sodium-ion battery module, developed with Altris, extends the portfolio into defense energy storage for arctic and extreme-environment operations.

The business model is direct enterprise field sales to defense forces and government procurement agencies, with quote-based pricing on bespoke hardware systems and some leasing arrangements (e.g., Astor III to the Netherlands in 2010). Customer concentration sits with FMV/Swedish Army and a small set of European military buyers; the company reports compliance with SAPIENT, ATAK, and NFFI interoperability standards and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and EASA 1.45 certifications.

Oscilion is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scandinavian Astor Group, formed in 2022 alongside composite manufacturers Marstrom Composite AB and JPC Composite. The group structure supports vertical integration of composite manufacturing for defense products. Leadership is headed by CEO and Brigadier General (ret.) Fredrik Bergman, with original 1993 project founders retained in technical roles. The company maintains operations in Kista, Sweden, and is actively expanding into German and Danish defense markets through exhibition participation.

Core offering

Oscilion develops software-defined Electromagnetic Warfare solutions for modern defence environments, including radar jamming systems (Astor II/III/IV series) and a complete counter-UAS product family called OutGuard (Drone Jammer, Mounted Jammer, Drone Tracker, Pilot Locator, Tactical C2). The company also supplies a 1.5 kWh sodium-ion battery module for defence energy storage in extreme conditions. Products are sold primarily to armed forces, military units, and government defence procurement agencies.

Product overview

Oscilion develops advanced, software-defined electromagnetic warfare solutions organized into two main product families. The OutGuard C-UAS System is a counter-drone solution comprising five integrated modules: the OutGuard Drone Jammer (stationary), OutGuard Mounted Jammer (vehicle-mounted), OutGuard Drone Tracker (passive detection), OutGuard Pilot Locator (direction-finding), and OutGuard Tactical C2 (command and control). These components work together to provide complete kill-chain capability from detection to mitigation. The second product line is the Astor Radar Jamming System family (Astor II through Astor IV), offering software-defined EW solutions with Direct RF technology and DRFM capability for radar jamming and EW training. Oscilion also offers a Na-ion Battery Module as an complementary product for defense energy storage applications. All products are designed for modern defence environments with AI-driven capabilities and can operate standalone or integrated into broader command-and-control systems.

Products and services

• OutGuard C-UAS System Counter-unmanned aircraft system that detects, tracks, and mitigates hostile UAS using RF-based technology with precise jamming. Covers frequencies from 0.15 to 8 GHz without gaps, is protocol agnostic, and supports standalone or integrated C2 operation. Designed for armed forces, military units, and defence organisations requiring C-UAS capability.
• Astor Radar Jamming System Software-defined electronic warfare solution for radar jamming and EW training, comprising the Astor II, Astor III, and Astor IV series. Uses Direct RF technology and DRFM (Digital Radio Frequency Memory) to generate customized radar jamming waveforms and EW training effects. Sold and leased to defence customers such as Swedish Defence Procurement (FMV) and the Royal Netherlands Air Force.
• Na-ion Battery Module 1.5 kWh sodium-ion battery module developed with Altris pouch cells. Operates in extreme temperatures (down to -40°C), delivers over 4,000 charge cycles at full depth of discharge, supports 0V storage, and provides supply chain independence from lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Designed for arctic operations, armoured vehicles, drones, and off-grid storage units.

Direct peers

• Dedrone: Specialist C-UAS provider focused on drone detection, tracking, and defeat (RF-based jamming and soft-kill), competing for the same defense, homeland security, and critical-infrastructure customers as OutGuard.
• SRC Inc. US defense contractor with a Counter-UAS product line and broader EW/RF engineering services. Comparable customer base (US DoD, allied militaries) and overlapping EW and C-UAS offerings to Oscilion.
• DroneShield: Pure-play C-UAS vendor with DroneGun, DroneSentry, and DroneSentry-C2 offerings spanning detection, tracking, and soft-kill jamming. Closely comparable to Oscilion's OutGuard family in product scope and target customer.
• Liteye Systems: US C-UAS specialist offering Anti-UAV Defense System (AUDS) combining radar, EO/IR, and RF jamming. Competes with Oscilion's OutGuard in Western government and critical-infrastructure counter-drone procurement.
• Blighter Surveillance Systems: Radar and electronic-scanning sensor specialist with C-UAS products integrated into multi-vendor kill chains (e.g., AUDS). Comparable as a detection-layer peer feeding into the same EW/C-UAS architectures as OutGuard.

Broad incumbents

• Elbit Systems: Israeli defense electronics major with EW, SIGINT, and C-UAS products (e.g., ReDrone). Direct competitor in European and NATO EW tenders and a peer in scale relative to Oscilion's portfolio breadth.
• Saab: Swedish defense prime with a major Electronic Warfare portfolio (Arexis family) and C-UAS capabilities. Directly competes for the same FMV and broader Swedish/European EW and counter-drone budget that Oscilion addresses.
• Leonardo: European defense prime with a dedicated Electronic Warfare division producing radar-jamming and counter-drone systems. Directly comparable product portfolio and a competitor in NATO EW procurement.
• Thales: Global defense electronics major with software-defined EW suites and C-UAS solutions. Comparable in offering scope (RF jamming, radar EW, integrated C2) and a likely competitor for any Oscilion cross-border European tender.

Emerging players

• Anduril Industries: US-based defense-tech with a growing C-UAS and counter-intrusion portfolio (Roadrunner, Anvil, Lattice). Comparable AI-driven, software-defined architecture and a potential competitor for global defense and homeland security C-UAS tenders.
