- Since 1939 when radar technology was transferred to
South Africa from Great Britain, the CSIR has been playing
a leading role in the development and utilisation of radar
technology and its applications.
- The CSIR has been instrumental in the development of
radio frequency (RF) electronic warfare (EW) technology
in South Africa from the early 1970s and in enabling the
local EW industry.
- In the post-1994 democratic South Africa, the CSIR has
been acknowledged by the South African National Defence
Force as an electronic defence research and evaluation
institute and contracted to support the SANDF to be smart
buyers, smart users and ensuring strategic independence
in radar and EW.
- The CSIR's electronic countermeasures (ECM) simulators,
digital radio frequency mMemory (DRFM) kernels and radar
signal processors are recognised as world class and utilised
by several clients internationally.
- The combination of skills of the CSIR's radar and EW
specialists enables a deep understanding of systems interactions
and client requirements.
