Teledyne Microwave UK Announces the Launch of Deimos Backpack R-ESM
Teledyne Microwave UK (a division of Teledyne UK Limited) proudly announces the launch of Deimos ‘Backpack’ R-ESM, the latest addition to its acclaimed Phobos Radar Electronic Support Measures (R-ESM) family. Purpose-built for rapid deployment and frontline agility, Deimos delivers full-spectrum electronic intelligence (ELINT) in a rugged, lightweight backpack system.
Compact, powerful, and mission-ready, Deimos harnesses the trusted performance of Teledyne Microwave UK’s (TMUK) Phobos technology in a lightweight, operator-portable format.

We’re especially proud that Deimos is designed and manufactured right here in the UK, showcasing the strength of British engineering and our commitment to sovereign capability.”
