Who is Mobix Labs?
Mobix Labs (NASDAQ:MOBX) is a fabless semiconductor and systems company building advanced connectivity solutions — RF, switching, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering — for high‑reliability markets such as defense, aerospace, 5G / wireless infrastructure, medical, and industrial.
From the start, Mobix Labs’ thesis has been to pair in‑house RF innovation with roll‑ups of complementary HiRel interconnect and EMI assets—aiming to solve interference, signal integrity, and ruggedization challenges that conventional consumer‑grade silicon can’t meet.
This article is disseminated in partnership with Mobix Labs Inc. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice.
From EMI filters to mmWave and full‑stack wireless
EMI filtering and rugged interconnects (defense / aerospace focus). Through EMI Solutions — a specialist manufacturer Mobix acquired — the company provides filtered connectors and FlexFilter inserts used across demanding platforms and standards (MIL‑STD‑461/‑810; DO‑160). These components harden mission systems against interference and help ensure signal integrity under shock, vibration, and thermal extremes.
A full‑stack airborne intelligence platform. In February 2026, the company announced FAA certification for a next‑generation, drone‑based airborne sensing platform built by its Wireless Division, RaGE Systems — combining multi‑sensor payloads, proprietary onboard compute, autonomous flight control, and real‑time analytics for infrastructure inspection. FAA approval moves the program from R andD into commercial execution.
RF and mmWave Imaging: A layer of security and situational awareness
As defense and critical‑infrastructure operators move toward sensing architectures that fuse communications, radar, and imaging, Mobix Labs’ RF and mmWave expertise positions it to participate in the next generation of high‑resolution safety and security systems.
High‑frequency imaging for threat detection
mmWave imaging (typically 60–140 GHz) enables:
- Non‑intrusive concealed‑object detection for base security, checkpoints, and force‑protection perimeters
- Through‑dust, fog, and smoke visibility, where optical/IR sensors fail
- Fine‑resolution mapping for autonomous systems and advanced targeting
- All‑weather perimeter monitoring for airfields, depots, and transport nodes
Mobix’s portfolio of high‑frequency RF components and EMI‑robust interconnects supports systems that need stable, low‑noise performance under harsh conditions — a requirement for real‑time mmWave imaging and threat classification.
Dual‑use applications
In commercial and industrial markets, RF / mmWave imaging is expanding into:
- Rail‑corridor monitoring
- Power‑substation safety
- Drone‑based inspection under low‑visibility conditions
- Robotics and automation navigation
As Mobix scales production and integrates sensing with wireless compute (via RaGE Systems), its RF/mmWave assets increasingly support both defense‑grade security and civilian safety‑automation use cases.
Smart munitions: Interface, guidance, and survivability components
Defense modernization is shifting toward smart, network‑connected, precision‑guided weapons, and each new class of munition requires reliable RF front ends, data links, and hardened interconnects — areas aligned with Mobix Labs’ core capabilities.
EMI‑hardened interfaces for guided weapons
Precision‑guided munitions operate in dense, contested electromagnetic environments. Filters and connectors derived from EMI Solutions’ portfolio can support:
- Seeker‑head and guidance‑module connectivity
- Safety/arming‑unit communication pathways
- Rugged inter-stage connectors for smart artillery, missiles, and loitering munitions
- High‑G survivable interconnects that withstand launch shock and thermal extremes
These components help ensure guidance electronics remain stable, interference‑tolerant, and secure from electromagnetic attack.
RF and wireless links in networked munitions
As weapons become more connected — supporting in‑flight updates, target recognition, and loiter‑and‑redirect functions — low‑SWaP RF subsystems become critical. Mobix’s high‑frequency siliconand secure data‑link technology can enable:
- Short‑range munition‑to‑operator links
- Swarm coordination channels
- Real‑time telemetry for targeting and battle‑damage assessment
These RF elements must be compact, thermally resilient, and shielded from EMI, making Mobix’s intersection of RF design + EMI hardening relevant for next‑generation smart weapons.
Defense and aerospace: Reliability Is non‑negotiable
Mobix Labs has been explicit about its defense and aerospace orientation. The company says its EMI product lines are deployed across a range of U.S. military platforms — citing the F‑35 Lightning, F / A‑18 Super Hornet, F‑22 Raptor, MH‑47 Chinook, and the Apache [PS1] — where EMI‑hardened interconnects and filters are critical to dependable operations in contested electromagnetic environments.
To scale execution in this channel, Mobix appointed defense industry veteran Amir Asvadi as General Manager of the EMI product line and defense manufacturing operations in January. At the same time, it unveiled plans to transition into a larger, military‑approved facility intended to consolidate West Coast operations and expand throughput—steps aimed at tighter production coordination and faster delivery for mission‑critical programs.
Beyond traditional platforms, the FAA‑certified drone program opens a dual‑use vector: rail, utility, and industrial operators are adopting automated, data‑driven inspection solutions to reduce downtime and improve safety, and Mobix intends to address that demand with field pilots and scalable deployments.
Growing through acquisition—and how it’s funded
Mobix’s growth plan blends organic product development with acquisition‑led expansion into HiRel interconnects and wireless systems.
EMI Solutions acquisition (closed December 19, 2023) expanded access to defense / aerospace customers and added a catalog of filtered connectors and inserts
On funding, Mobix explicitly linked its public listing to fuelling acquisitions and has since cited multiple capital avenues, and an equity line structure to “act swiftly” on targets.
Third‑party coverage also notes that the SPAC’s PIPE component supplemented redemptions, while the company later emphasized the $100 million‑plus capacity available for M and A.
Why acquisitions? Defense and aerospace electronics are moving toward higher power density, tighter EMI / EMC envelopes, and faster signal chains. By integrating filtered interconnects, RF subsystems, and sensing/computing stacks, Mobix aims to control more of the value chain—competing not just on component performance but on system‑level reliability and time‑to‑fielding.
Execution updates: Leadership, capacity, and fielding
The January 2026 leadership and facility updates point to Mobix’s pivot from proof‑of‑capability to scalable production for defense customers. Asvadi’s authority spans engineering, operations, marketing, and sales coordination—aimed at faster cycles and disciplined quality as the EMI line ramps. The planned military‑approved facility is intended to streamline production, consolidate sites, and raise throughput — key for programs where delivery assurance is as critical as performance.
On the wireless side the company says its drone‑based sensing platform could unlock broader flight operations and customer pilots, enabling Mobix to transition into commercial deployments across infrastructure inspection (rail, utilities, industrials). The company describes the system as a full‑stack airborne intelligence platform—sensors + compute + autonomy + analytics—validated through multiple flight tests.
Why this could matter to operators and investors
- Defense / aerospace demand for EMI‑hardened, ruggedized interconnects remains resilient, with modernization programs and sustainment cycles that reward quality, compliance, and delivery cadence — areas Mobix is investing in through leadership and capacity.
- Wireless momentum aligns with infrastructure owners seeking automated inspection to cut downtime and improve safety; FAA certification lowers a key barrier to scaled field operations.
- Acquisition firepower (equity line + shelf) provides optionality to consolidate niche HiRel assets—though integration discipline and capital efficiency will be the deciding factors in value creation.
- Improving margins and narrowing adjusted operating losses in FY2025 (preliminary) suggest operating leverage as mix shifts and scale benefits accrue — pending audit and final 10‑K.
Investor’s corner
Mobix Labs is positioning itself as a systems‑minded consolidator at the intersection of defense‑grade EMI/interconnects and advanced wireless platforms. The 2025 numbers (as filed on Form 10-K) point to revenue growth and margin gains[PS1] , while 2026 operational moves (defense leadership, facility expansion, FAA‑cleared drone platform) indicate a push from development into repeatable production and deployment. Still, investors should weigh liquidity needs, execution risk on M andA integration, and the gap between GAAP and non‑GAAP profitability as the company scales.
