CEA Technologies was established in 1983 by two former Naval Officers with a goal of creating a centre of excellence for the design and support of systems for the Australian Defence Force.

CEA was founded on an unrelenting commitment to innovation and quality. In line with this commitment, CEA, as a private, vertically integrated Australian company, designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sustains a suite of world–leading phased array radar products. By combining uncompromising design principles and a resolute commitment to continued investment in research and development, CEA Technologies is today recognised globally for their innovative thinking, technological skill, and quality fabrication.
