Cobham Defense Electronics Systems, a major manufacturer of cable systems sold to the U.S. government and major aerospace and defense companies, has captured the New Hampshire Business Resource Center’s “Innovation Rocks!” award for the month of November.

Cobham, a U.S. subsidiary of Cobham plc, a publicly traded, U.K. aerospace and defense company with over 75 years experience in avionics, flight operation services and manufacturing, was recognized for its custom solutions and integrated assemblies for radar, electronic warfare and communication systems for the aerospace and defense industries.
