About Us
Spectranetix is a small fast-growing company that develops and provides advanced multi-function RF systems for the U.S. Department of Defense. We design and build advanced, military standards-based, modular open systems architecture (MOSA) systems. These systems conform to the Army's C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and the Air Force's Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Standard. These CMOSS /SOSA systems are used for multi-mission electronic warfare, tactical communications, signals intelligence, cyber-EW, high performance computing and often simultaneous operation of these capabilities.
Our parent company, Pacific Defense is focused on supporting the DoD’s disciplined movement to modular open standards and to mirror the way military services address EMS warfare holistic mission planning and execution. Products are designed from the outset for modern, AI-driven autonomy and CMOSS and SOSA-aligned hardware and software solutions.Focus areas include autonomous systems, command and control, communications, cyber operations, intelligence collection, and electronic warfare.
