Triad RF Systems

Triad RF Systems is a US-based designer and manufacturer of high-performance RF and microwave amplifiers, RF front ends and integrated radio systems for defense, aerospace and space applications.

The company’s standard and custom solutions include power amplifiers, bi-directional amplifiers, high-power radio systems and integrated multi-function assemblies. Engineered for demanding SWaP requirements, these technologies extend communications range, improve data throughput and enhance RF link reliability across unmanned, airborne, land, naval and space platforms.

Triad RF Systems manufactures in the United States under ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D-certified quality processes. Its products are designed and tested for demanding operational environments, including applicable MIL-STD-810 environmental and MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC requirements. The company is part of the COMROD Group, combining US-based engineering and manufacturing with wider international program support.

Counter-UAS Systems

Modern counter-UAS systems require wideband RF capabilities to detect, disrupt and defeat threats operating across an increasingly complex range of frequencies and waveforms.

Triad RF Systems supplies compact, ultra-broadband GaN power amplifiers, bi-directional amplifiers and multi-function RF modules for software-defined radio-based counter-UAS systems. The company’s solutions support highly modulated waveforms such as OFDM and can be optimized for maximum efficiency within fixed, mobile and platform-mounted systems.

Alongside an extensive range of COTS broadband amplifiers, Triad develops custom RF solutions to meet specific performance, environmental and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Most products are designed or screened against relevant MIL-STD-810G environmental conditions and MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC requirements.

Electronic Warfare

Triad RF Systems develops RF and microwave amplifiers and transmit/receive modules for SIGINT, ELINT, electronic attack and jamming applications.

Its COTS electronic warfare amplifiers combine multi-octave broadband operation with high efficiency, flat power and gain characteristics, and compact SWaP-optimized form factors. Selected amplifiers and integrated radio systems can also incorporate onboard monitoring and control circuitry, reducing the need for separate components.

For mission-specific requirements, Triad can modify its existing COTS products or develop custom RF assemblies, enabling power, frequency coverage, interfaces and packaging to be tailored to the host platform and operational environment.

Tactical ISR Data Links for Military Applications

Triad RF Systems works with unmanned systems manufacturers, prime contractors and radio integrators to design, integrate, test and troubleshoot long-range ISR data links.

The company’s range-extending bi-directional amplifiers, Triad High Power Radio systems and tracking antenna solutions are designed to improve RF output power, data throughput and link distance while minimizing system size, weight and power consumption.

Triad provides data-link solutions for airborne, land and maritime platforms, supporting frequencies from UHF to Ku-band and operational distances exceeding 200 km. Its turnkey capabilities encompass RF hardware, power supplies, electromagnetic interference mitigation, system integration and link testing.

Multi-Function Modules

Triad RF Systems develops Integrated Multi-Function Amplifier Assemblies that combine multiple active and passive RF functions within a single compact module.

Consolidating traditionally separate components helps reduce interconnect losses, impedance-matching issues, system size and power consumption. These integrated assemblies can also provide centralized monitoring and control of their internal RF subsystems, resulting in a more efficient and robust solution than conventional connectorized architectures.

Triad’s multi-function designs support operating frequencies up to 40 GHz and power levels in the hundreds of watts. Assemblies can be developed from a complete specification, an early-stage concept or an existing design requiring improved performance or reduced SWaP.
