Philip Kavitsky

Phil Kavitsky brings over 44 years of experience of project and organizational leadership in the radar development and analysis.

Phil brings a rich background of developing and delivering test range and laboratory assets for testing electronic warfare devices and tactics.  As lead radar engineer and program manager, he has helped develop functional replicas of foreign adversarial air defense systems in the form of actual radar systems and hardware-in-the-loop radar simulators. Phil manages the EWA GSI Radar and Threat Simulator Division in Mt. Laurel NJ, which under his leadership, has more than doubled in size from 30 employees to over 60 employees today.  He also has expanded his customer base to include test range instrumentation radars for Army and Navy test range facilities.

Phil joined Sigma Defense in April 2024 through the acquisition of EWA GSI.  Prior to his work at EWA GSI, he worked on threat radar simulator programs at RCS, Missile & Surface Radar, where he managed the Threat Radar System Group before leaving to start the EWA GSI facility that he now leads.

Phil received a B.S. and an M.S. in Physics at Drexel University in Philadelphia, where he has lived most of his life. His past 14 years, however, have been spent at the edge of farm country in Lumberton NJ, where he resides with his wife and son, and enjoys peace and quiet, backyard astronomy, and classical music.
