ITOPP, an ALCEN subsidiary, is a leader in pulsed power and High-Power Microwave (HPM) technologies, serving the Defence & Security, Nuclear Deterrence and Energy sectors.
Drawing on several decades of expertise and collaborations with leading research centres and institutions, ITOPP designs and develops High-Power Microwave (HPM) and directed-energy solutions to address emerging defence challenges.
These technologies provide capabilities for electronic warfare and the non-kinetic neutralization of electronic systems, particularly in the field of counter-drone operations, with high-performance, tailored solutions designed to meet operational requirements.
SKYPULSE is a directed-energy system based on High-Power Microwave (HPM) technology, designed to neutralize aerial threats.
It integrates a pulsed-power Marx generator, a microwave source (BWO – Backward Wave Oscillator) and a directional antenna, enabling the generation of directional electromagnetic pulses capable of neutralizing drone electronic systems in real time.
The system delivers high-power microwave radiation directly onto drone electronic systems, with effects ranging from disruption to neutralization.
