Kratos is moving the microwave electronics division

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has opened a new facility for its Microwave Electronics Division (MED) in Jerusalem, relocating the division's operations to a purpose-built site in the Gav Yam Group high-tech complex near the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The 60,000-square-foot facility includes 20,000 square feet of cleanroom space for the precision assembly, testing, and manufacturing of microwave assemblies and subsystems. According to the company, the expansion is aimed at increasing capabilities in high-performance microwave and RF technologies used in missiles, radars, satellites, electronic warfare systems, and other defense and space applications. "With the expanded space, advanced cleanroom capabilities, and proximity to the academic and technological talent of the Hebrew University, we are able to deliver solutions for the next generation of microwave and RF systems faster and more efficiently than ever before. This investment underscores Kratos's commitment to Israel as a key hub of innovation and excellence," said Yonah Adelman, President of Kratos's Microwave Electronics Division. The opening follows Kratos's recent acquisition of Orbit Technologies, an Israeli provider of radio and satellite communication technology. Kratos stated that combining Orbit's expertise with its global manufacturing network will enhance support for defense and commercial sector customers. The Jerusalem facility will serve as a central hub for Kratos's microwave and digital subsystem production, supported by upgraded cleanroom and testing infrastructure designed to meet the growing demand for reliable, high-performance RF and microwave systems
