PentenAmio announces TEAM FORTITUDE
Introducing a new collaboration bringing together trusted British SMEs to deliver high-performance, agile and export-ready Electronic Deception capabilities. This sovereign partnership, founded by PentenAmio, includes Filtronic, a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced RF and microwave solutions, Mercury EW, a specialist in EW training, consultancy, and defence training management, and an ecosystem of UK SMEs to advance Electronic Deception capabilities for the UK MOD and allied nations.
TEAM FORTITUDE brings together expertise to deliver agile, sovereign, and integrated Electronic Deception capabilities tailored to the needs of the modern battlespace. Combining deep knowledge in RF engineering, software-defined systems, data integration, secure communications, and mission focused delivery, TEAM FORTITUDE offers the UK MOD and allied nations a trusted, flexible and scalable innovation-led approach to countering evolving threats across the electromagnetic spectrum.
“Our mission is to deliver trusted innovation that gives our defence partners the operational edge,” said Matt Thomas, UK CEO, PentenAmio. “By forming TEAM FORTITUDE, we’re uniting best-of-British capability to accelerate the delivery of electronic deception technologies—not only for the UK MOD, but also in support of our AUKUS partners across Australia, the United States, and the broader allied defence community.”
“We’re proud to be part of TEAM FORTITUDE, bringing our RF engineering expertise to support the UK’s sovereign defence capabilities,” said Nat Edington, CEO, Filtronic. “This partnership showcases the strength of collaboration between innovative British SMEs and creates a robust platform for delivering cutting-edge EW technology both at home and abroad.”
“At Mercury EW, we firmly believe that human performance is central to operational success,” said Andrew Lonsdale, CTO, Mercury EW. “With the increasing prevalence of technology and automated intelligence in military operations, we must train our people cleverer, earlier, and with absolute fidelity to overmatch our adversaries. As a proud co-founding member of Team FORTITUDE, that is our objective.”
The collaboration framework enables rapid, sovereign innovation across multiple domains, with a focus on interoperability, scalability, and resilience in real-world operations.
Further updates on TEAM FORTITUDE’s roadmap and capability offerings will be shared in upcoming defence industry engagements.
