Mission-Specific Antennas
Custom antenna design and engineering for counter-drone platforms, UAV systems, and mission-specific RF applications across microwave bands, from concept development through manufacturable hardware.
Micro-Ant designs, tests, and manufactures bespoke counter-drone and UAV antennas for anti-drone platforms that demand reliable RF performance. From directional links and precision GNSS to rugged field-ready assemblies, our Jacksonville-based engineering and production teams support mission-driven programs with AS9100:2016 quality, ISO 9001:2015 systems, and scalable Made-in-the-USA manufacturing for challenging operational environments.
Custom antenna engineering, RF validation, and scalable manufacturing for mission-critical counter-drone and UAV applications.
Custom antenna design and engineering for counter-drone platforms, UAV systems, and mission-specific RF applications across microwave bands, from concept development through manufacturable hardware.
Spherical and planar near-field testing for antenna characterization, radome validation, component measurement, compliance documentation, and performance reporting from 750 MHz to 40 GHz.
US-based contract manufacturing with precision machining, assembly, RF integration, environmental screening, final characterization, ERP tracking, and scalable capacity from prototypes to 200,000+ units annually.
Micro-Ant begins by reviewing platform constraints, operating bands, environmental conditions, production quantities, and anti-drone system goals. This helps define the RF architecture, documentation expectations, testing needs, and quality gates before detailed engineering begins.
Micro-Ant brings scientific RF expertise, aerospace quality systems, and scalable US manufacturing together.
Over 20 years designing bespoke antennas for defense, aviation, maritime, and land applications.
AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 systems support traceable, repeatable, mission-critical manufacturing quality.
Jacksonville facility combines engineering, machining, assembly, RF testing, and production under one roof.
Every production product is tested to verify electrical and mechanical performance before delivery.
Scientific antenna expertise backed by disciplined production systems.
