The New Face of Warfare: Why Electronics Are Now the Front Line

Today’s battlefield looks nothing like the battlefields of the past

By Jim Doyle, CEO of NEOTech

Jim Doyle, CEO NEOTechThe war in Ukraine made this painfully clear. Cyberattacks crippled infrastructure. Drones redefined surveillance and precision strikes. Communications networks became as strategic as any weapons system. Electronic warfare didn’t just support the fight—it shaped it.

At the same time, we see growing tensions in the Pacific, where China’s ambitions toward Taiwan remind us that future conflicts may unfold as much in space, cyberspace, and information domains as on land or sea. Control of these domains increasingly determines strategic advantage.

This is the world NEOTech supports.

Our responsibility is to provide the secure, rugged, and resilient electronics that prime contractors and defense OEMs need to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.

From Cyber to Space: Enabling the Modern Defense Mission

Cybersecurity:
Cyber warfare happens at machine speed. When critical communications and command systems are under constant threat, trustworthy hardware becomes non-negotiable. NEOTech delivers secure embedded systems built to resist tampering and ensure continuity in contested environments.

Space-Based Systems:
Satellites now underpin navigation, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), and secure communications. NEOTech’s radiation-tolerant microelectronics and high-reliability RF assemblies help ensure these vital assets operate flawlessly—even in the harshest orbits.NEOTech Microelectronics for Space Missions

Information Warfare:
Information is both a tool and a target. From AI-generated disinformation to electronic spoofing, control of the information environment shapes outcomes on and off the battlefield. Our EMI-shielded and tamper-resistant electronics enable secure, trusted communication in an age where perception equals power.

Autonomous Systems:
Drones, loitering munitions, and AI-powered systems are changing the scale and speed of engagement. NEOTech provides high-density, miniaturized electronics that enable these technologies to operate with precision and reliability, even in the most rugged and constrained environments.

Leadership in Uncertain Times: Why Purpose Matters

As leaders, we talk about innovation, supply chains, and readiness metrics. But behind every one of these priorities is a deeper truth: our work shapes the security landscape for the next generation.

What we build today will define how tomorrow’s conflicts unfold—and hopefully, how they’re deterred.
At NEOTech, we view this responsibility not just as a contract to fulfill, but as a duty to the service members, the families, and the nations that rely on the systems we help bring to life.

defense communication technology - NEOTechPersonally, I think about my own boys growing up in a world where the threats they face won’t just come from borders but from bandwidth, from orbital space, from autonomous platforms moving faster than human decision-making. That’s why I’m so passionate about leading a company that helps our customers stay ahead of these evolving threats.

Why Electronic Dominance Is the New High Ground

The future of warfare won’t be won by the biggest force—it will be won by the most connected, the most resilient, and the most secure. Electronic dominance is the new high ground.

NEOTech is proud to partner with the world’s leading defense contractors and OEMs to make that possible.
Through trusted manufacturing, secure processes, and relentless attention to quality, we help ensure that when our customers’ systems are called upon, they perform without question.

Because in the end, this work isn’t just about technology—it’s about safeguarding futures. For my children. For yours. For everyone who believes in the values we’re working to defend.

Final Thought: Building with Purpose

Leadership means looking beyond the next project or quarterly target. It means asking:
What kind of future are we helping to build?

At NEOTech, we’ve answered that question with clarity and conviction. We build electronics that enable freedom to be protected, peace to be preserved, and those who serve to come home safely.

That’s a mission worth dedicating a career—and a company—to.
