BAE Systems has a long history of antenna research and development for many applications, including:
- Low-radar cross-section (RCS) antenna technology that provides high-efficiency (gain), and is used for Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), wing arrays, UHF, satellite communications (SATCOM), Voicecom, Beacon, Altimeter, MIDS, flight termination and GPS controlled pattern antennas (CRPA), and fixed reception pattern antennas
- Low-cost phased arrays used for SATCOM hybrid scan, IFF switched beam, microwave landing systems, and commercial cellular applications
- Conformal antenna subsystems that offer low-profile, high-gain performance for L-band, omni, altimeters, and GPS. Conformal antennas are in production for the F/A-18E/F and F-16 aircraft
- Precision GPS ground reference antenna (for ground-based augmentation system and large area synchronous)
- Multimode and multi-element small-footprint GPS CRPAs
- Wearable antennas for VHF, UHF, and GPS
- Link 16/Tactical Targeting Network Technology data link antenna
- Open-array antennas for reducing wind-loading (developed for the Federal Aviation Administration)
- Broadband HF/VHF/UHF tactical antennas for military vehicles, including helicopters, tanks, and HMMWVs
- Reflector antennas for EHF SATCOM
- High-isolation, multifunction multi-band antennas
- UHF SATCOM buoy communication systems
