Keysight Technologies has been awarded a contract by NATO’s Naval Forces Sensor and Weapons Accuracy Check Sites (FORACS) to modernize testing capabilities for radar and electronic support measures (ESM) systems. Keysight will provide advanced Radar Target Generator and Electronic Warfare (EW) threat simulation solutions to NATO Navy bases. These systems will enable calibration, maintenance, and performance assessment of NATO’s radar and ESM systems, ensuring operational readiness across member nations.

Keysight’s solutions include high-fidelity radar target generation, sophisticated EW threat simulation, customizable open-architecture designs for future upgrades, and deployable modular systems for field and lab use. The Radar Target Generator uses commercial-off-the-shelf components with customized firmware and European-developed software.

NATO’s FORACS office emphasized the importance of this contract for restoring critical radar and ESM testing capabilities. Keysight highlighted that the solutions were developed in Europe in collaboration with local R&D centers and European partners.
