Incap and Rantelon team up on electronic warfare for drone makers
EMS provider Incap’s German subsidiary and Estonian defence electronics company Rantelon are starting a sales and business development partnership. The aim is to bring Rantelon’s radio frequency and electronic warfare technologies to makers of unmanned systems in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Incap Electronics Germany will introduce Rantelon’s technologies and development capabilities to potential customers in the region, while Rantelon will continue to develop and manufacture its products in Estonia, according to a press release from Incap. For Incap, the partnership broadens its offering beyond traditional electronics manufacturing, combining Rantelon’s RF technology with its own engineering, industrialisation and manufacturing.
Rantelon, based in Tallinn, has more than 30 years of experience in RF engineering, signal processing and electronic warfare, and specialises in technologies for detecting and countering drones. Its equipment has been selected by the Lithuanian Border Guard and the Finnish Defence Forces, and one of its fastest-growing areas is electronics for drones.
“Until now, our presence in Germany has been limited. Partnering with Incap gives us access to an established network of manufacturers and allows us to approach the market more systematically,” says Karl Taklaja, CEO of Rantelon.
Incap’s and Rantelon’s cooperation builds on an existing relationship between Rantelon and Incap’s Estonian operations, which have previously provided electronics manufacturing services to the company.
