New Defence Applications for SVANTEK Technology

During MSPO 2026 in Kielce, SVANTEK President and CEO Bartłomiej Barwicz signed a letter of intent launching a new cooperation between industry, science and advanced technology.

The initiative opens new possibilities for applying SVANTEK technology in defence-related solutions. Our contribution builds on what we know best: precision measurement, acoustics, signal analysis and engineering expertise.

One of the first projects developed within this cooperation is a modular, multi-purpose unmanned ground platform. The system is designed as an open platform that can integrate different technologies depending on operational requirements, including solutions for threat detection and acoustic drone detection.

For SVANTEK, this is an opportunity to transfer decades of experience in professional acoustic and measurement technology into new fields of application.

The cooperation brings together ALEX, J&C Armament, Quantum Quest, SVANTEK, the Central Office of Measures, Kielce University of Technology and Bialystok University of Technology, combining expertise from industry, research and academia.

Welcome Frédéric Macaigne, Managing Director of SVANTEK France

Frédéric describes himself simply: passionate about sound and metrology. Behind this passion is nearly 30 years of international experience in measurement instrumentation, working across markets on several continents. Throughout his career, he has followed a consistent approach: starting with the customer’s problem rather than the product catalogue.

He is already a familiar face to many SVANTEK users in France, having represented the SVANTEK range on the French market.

Frédéric joins us at an important moment as SVANTEK strengthens its direct presence in France, giving our customers and partners closer access to local technical support, calibration and expertise.

There will also be an opportunity to meet him very soon.

New Head of Sales of SVANTEK North America

Svantek North America is pleased to announce Brian MacMillan as our new Head of Sales for the United States.
Brian brings three decades in sound and vibration instrumentation, with leadership roles at NTi Audio, Audio Precision, and Brüel & Kjær across the US and Europe. He is equally at home in the standards community that defines how noise is measured and judged. A member of the ASTM community noise and building acoustics committees, represented instrumentation manufacturers on the ANSI working group that recently updated the ANSI S12.2 room noise criteria, and served on the City of Portland Noise Advisory Workgroup, which just completed its work.

Ask Brian what drives that work, and he will tell you it is balance: communities need both the people who make noise and the people who live next to it, and effective measurement is how they find common ground. As an avid pickleball player, he has spent time on both sides of that line. Please join us in welcoming Brian. If you are attending NoiseCon in Long Beach (9-11 JULY 2026), stop by the Booth #24 and say hello.
