AS6081 Counterfeit Mitigation for Radar Systems

A leading defense contractor needed to source legacy RF components for a naval radar system retrofit. The open market for these parts is highly saturated with sophisticated counterfeits featuring laser black-topping and die remarking.

Costa Devices acted as the exclusive quality firewall. Every sourced component was subjected to our zero-trust protocol: heated solvent testing, X-ray inspection, and decapsulation with die verification against the original manufacturer's golden sample.

We successfully intercepted and destroyed 3 batches of counterfeit components that had bypassed the contractor's previous suppliers, ensuring 100% compliance and zero field failures.
