Custom Antennas
Electronic Warfare Systems
Our goal is total customer satisfaction. If your unique application requires a specialized antenna, our engineers will help you develop a solution. In addition, the form and function of antennas can be modified in any manner that best fits your needs.
Customizing Your Antenna
A variety of paint options are available to fulfill your coating requirements. Federal Standard 595B colors, Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) or spot color schemes are available.
- RF Mating Options: All antennas can be modified to include an RF connector that best fits your application.
- Mounting Options: Antennas can be modified to be mounted in the manner that best fits your requirements. Magnetic mounts are recommended for applications involving automobiles. A tripod will best fit situations where quick-setup and temporary emplacement is necessary. Other options include antenna towers, and solar-powered mount systems for remote operation.
Universal Features
- Ruggedized: Where it does not impede on the antenna’s function, all antennas are designed to operate under rigorous conditions and environments whenever possible.
- Quality Craftsmanship: We are an AS9100 certified company. All antennas are designed and manufactured under with the auspices of our certified aerospace quality management program. All antennas are guaranteed for 1 year after delivery.
- High-Power Options: To increase range and improve reception, most antennas can be modified to operate in high-power applications.

Omni Directional Antennas
Directional Antennas
Directional antennas are generally used for systems that require narrow beamwidth and highly directed energy. These narrow beam antennas can provide a large amount of energy over a small coverage area.
When used for point-to-point communications systems (such as satellite links), these very-directive antennas will greatly reduce power requirements. In EW applications, highly directive antennas increase the field strength at the target at a fraction of the cost of higher output amplifiers. The most effective results are obtained when combined with higher power amplifiers.
KBR designs four types of directional antennas:
- Dish Antennas
- Flat Panel Antennas
- Helical Antennas
- Horn Antennas
Antenna Accessories
In addition to the extensive catalog and custom engineering products KBR manufactures, we also provide supplemental equipment to complement our antennas and electronic systems.
KBR offers a variety ground and flight-based box feeds for use with dish antennas or as gain standards. All feeds are built to be electrically superior and allow for any desired polarization. A custom model can be made to suit.
Signal Amplifiers
- RF amplifiers increase the power of low to medium-power RF signals for increased coverage, better signal reception or, at minimum, to satisfy power requirements to drive an antenna.
Towers and Masts
- Positioning your antenna at a higher elevation can improve coverage and effectiveness of your antenna application.
Omni Directional Antennas
Omni-directional antennas are used for communication systems that require equal coverage in all directions. Our custom designed omni-directional antennas can be used for mobile solutions and can be built with a magnetic base for vehicles. KBR designs three categories of omni-directional antennas:
- Biconical Monopol Antennas
- Biconical Antennas
- Titan Tri-Band Antenna
