Over 150,000 MegaPhase Cables Help Allied Forces Defeat IEDs
Stroudsburg,
PA –August 17, 2010 – The critical systems our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines use to jam
radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) rely on the RF cables
designed and manufactured at the
MegaPhase facility in Stroudsburg, PA. Over 150,000 MegaPhase
cables are in use protecting the Warfighter in overseas contingency operations. These cables are used in tens of
thousands of jamming systems fielded on every vehicle in the US Military including MRAP, M-ATV, Stryker, Paladin,
HWMMV and others. The group of systems are known as CREW—counter radio-controlled electronic warfare—and are used
to prevent detonation of roadside bombs, the most deadly and dangerous threat to our troops.
MegaPhase has been honored to contribute to the accomplishments of the United States Army's PM Electronic
Warfare ("EW") as well as the protection of the Warfighter from the threat of IEDs in Operation Enduring Freedom
and Operation Iraqi Freedom, now known as Overseas Contingency Operations.
“MegaPhase’s RF cables and connectors have already and will continue to directly impact and save the lives of
over 30,000 people,” reports an Army spokesperson. “As a vital supplier to the war effort that requires precision
cables and connectors with proven reliability in extremely harsh environments and all kinds of weather conditions,
MegaPhase consistently delivers – even under difficult compressed schedules.“
“Our sense of urgency comes from knowing our cables are saving lives,” said William Pote, CEO of MegaPhase. As an
example, Pote recounts several instances when the Army’s PM EW or its integrators have last-minute requirements
whereby a phone call in the morning necessitates MegaPhase to deliver cables the same day to Tobyhanna Army Depot
for direct shipment to the theater in Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere in the world. “We get the call at 7
a.m., and we have cable sets boxed and driven to Tobyhanna by 3 p.m. the same day.” Pote adds, “In addition to our
battle-tested
RF coax cables, we have developed a line of rugged,
GrooveTube® super flexible test cables and
quick-mate connectors and adapters to meet
critical battle-field demands. The
SiteLine™ Rugged Armored cables and
network analyzer cables
also provide reliable and accurate performance under the most rugged field conditions.”
