MDA and Nanowave join forces to produce an innovative radar transceiver payload

May 1, 2018

MDA has signed a multi-million dollar contract with Nanowave Technologies Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced microwave, millimeter-wave and electro-optic multi-function modules and subsystems. MDA will provide satellite components in addition to engineering support to integrate and test a Nanowave radar transceiver satellite payload. Radar transceivers provide the capability to transmit and receive radio frequency signals between the ground and space for imaging.

Mike Greenley, group president of MDA said, "MDA's long heritage in space radar payloads was the perfect complement to the rich heritage of Nanowave's advanced microwave expertise. Blending leading edge technical capability with timely, cost effective execution and extensive heritage, MDA's space radar solutions provide a unique value proposition to customers worldwide."
