The company’s design principles and commitment to investment in research and development ensures innovative thinking, technological skill, and quality fabrication. Programs include the ANZAC and Hunter class frigates and air defence applications for Army and Air Force, and Range applications.
Through our longstanding and ongoing collaboration with Defence, CEA Technologies has undertaken research and development into all aspects of active electronically scanned array technologies. This has resulted in the creation of a highly‑modular and scalable product suite, which have become integral to a wide range of critical Defence capabilities.

Our design and manufacturing facilities are located in Canberra, Adelaide and Melbourne with support facilities located in Perth, Newcastle and Brisbane.
Our whole of life system abilities include advanced manufacturing and antenna test facilities. These include specialised CAD/CAM systems, automated form-in-place 3D printing and one of the largest anechoic chambers in Australia.
The modular, scalable and flexible design of our systems allows us to integrate and test very large radar system mobilised by ruggedized trailers, chiller units, power management, slip rings and expansive active array faces with the unique ability to operate in extreme conditions.
