Behind every advanced antenna system, there is far more than hardware: there is research, electromagnetic simulation, innovation, and a team turning complex requirements into real-world solutions.
Our Antenna Department focuses on the design and development of advanced custom antenna solutions for defence and aerospace applications, combining RF engineering, EM simulation, and high-performance antenna design tailored to operational needs.
In the picture: Marco, Chiara, and Davide, part of the team working daily on antenna simulation, design, and development activities under the technical supervision of CTO Guido Nenna.
The team is currently involved in several
innovative programs, including:
SEAMAN – focused on the design and development of smart, compact, and multifunctional V/UHF antennas for naval platforms;
DEEPTRACE – development of a multi-channel system based on an array of compact receiving antennas for reception, digitization, and analysis of HF-band signals;
SHELTER – selected under ESA’s High-Impedance Surface for Small Satellite Application (ExPro Plus) program, focused on developing HIS technologies for small satellites to enhance L-band communication performance.
Alongside these activities, leading partners in the defence sector continue to rely on Free Space for the development of custom antenna solutions designed for highly specialized and demanding applications.
From concept and simulation to integration and validation, every project is driven by the same goal: delivering reliable, cutting-edge technologies capable of meeting the challenges of next-generation defence and aerospace systems.
