Over 150,000 Cables Help Allied Forces Defeat IEDs

The critical systems U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines use to jam radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) rely on RF cables designed and manufactured at the Megaphases facility in Stroudsburg, Pa.

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.
