Anywaves Launches U.S. Federal Subsidiary

Anywaves Federal: A New Strategic Anchor Point for U.S. Defense and Space Programs

This week marks a defining moment in Anywaves’ evolution: the launch of Anywaves Federal, our new U.S. subsidiary dedicated exclusively to American government and defense customers. Based in Austin, Texas, this entity reinforces what many of our partners and dear customers already know: Anywaves is no longer simply a European antenna manufacturer. We are becoming a global RF technology provider, structurally committed to supporting programs where performance, reliability, and industrial trustworthiness are non-negotiable.

Officially announced in this press release, this new chapter reflects both our long-term vision and the confidence placed in us by agencies, integrators, and satellite manufacturers worldwide.

Why This Matters to U.S. Programs

For senior leaders navigating procurement complexity, mission assurance, and tightening delivery schedules, the creation of Anywaves Federal brings several tangible benefits:

1. Proximity to U.S. stakeholders and contracting structures

Serving American federal and defense missions from Europe is possible.
Serving them efficiently, compliantly, and at scale requires a U.S. entity.

Anywaves Federal is designed precisely for that: to speak the same operational language, align with U.S. contracting frameworks, and remove transatlantic friction from mission development cycles.

2. A dedicated U.S. industrial footprint

Under the leadership of Nicolas Hine, now CEO of Anywaves Federal, our new subsidiary will deploy:

• local production capabilities for RF payloads and space antennas,
• testing and qualification assets,
• a recruitment pipeline tapping into Texas’ deep engineering and defense talent,
• and a reliable, responsive supply chain adapted to U.S. federal requirements.

This is not symbolic presence: it is concrete industrial commitment.

As Nicolas states in the press release:
“We created Anywaves Federal because we believe in the power of sovereign capability combined with commercial agility. By anchoring our defense-focused operations in Texas, we are positioning ourselves to serve U.S. government customers with unmatched performance, while investing in American industry and talents.”

3. Access to flight-proven antennas trusted on demanding missions

Anywaves has built its reputation on mission-critical RF hardware that combines:

• high performance and radiation-resilient architectures,
• compact, thermal- and mass-optimized designs,
• robust industrial processes aligned with EN 9100 and ISO 27001,
• and consistently short lead times, even for custom developments.

Our antennas equip satellites across Earth observation, telecommunications, GNSS, spectrum monitoring, scientific missions, and more. Among our proudest milestones is the success of the Anywaves reflectarray antenna: the first commercial reflectarray ever to achieve flight heritage. Its successful deployment in orbit demonstrated not only the maturity of our engineering approach but also our ability to deliver innovative, qualification-ready hardware that meets the stringent requirements of institutional and commercial missions alike.

For U.S. programs seeking suppliers with both innovation and dependability, Anywaves Federal now provides a domestic interface to that proven capability.

Why Austin Is the Right Place to Build This Future

Austin’s ecosystem is uniquely shaped by collaboration between innovators and defense leadership. The Capital Factory, where Anywaves Federal will be based, is one of the rare U.S. locations where military decision-makers and technology companies interact regularly to develop solutions for future national security challenges.

The wider Texas region—strengthened by San Antonio’s role as “Military City, U.S.A.”—offers the perfect combination of aerospace heritage, defense presence, and state-level commitment to space innovation, reflected in the creation of the Texas Space Commission in 2023.

As highlighted by Ed Latson, CEO of Opportunity Austin:
“We are happy to welcome Anywaves to the City of Austin and its growing international and aerospace companies… Our ecosystem for fast growth companies remains a defining feature of our community.”

For Anywaves, it is the ideal environment to scale a defense-focused organization while staying connected to innovation networks and operational partners.

A New Step in Our Multinational Strategy

As stated in the press release:
“The launch of Anywaves Federal marks an additional step in Anywaves’ evolution as a multinational company expanding its presence across key global markets.”

From Toulouse to Austin, the trajectory is clear: we are building a company that remains sharp and agile, yet capable of serving institutional missions across continents with the rigor and reliability they demand.

This expansion is not a pivot but a natural extension of our identity: a pure player in space antennas, committed to excellence, industrial discipline, and the long-term success of our customers’ missions.

Whether supplying off-the-shelf antennas or developing RF systems tailored to highly specific mission profiles, we aim to be a partner that senior leaders can trust, whether technically, operationally or strategically.
