£4.5m defence sector contract win for communications specialist

Communications technology firm, Filtronic, has secured a contract win for the development and manufacture of advanced radio frequency electronic modules for a major UK defence industry client.

The £4.5m deal includes a product qualification phase starting in January 2024, with the delivery of final production units scheduled over 12 months starting quarter four CY2024.

Richard Gibbs, chief executive officer at Leeds-based Filtronic, said: “We have been working with the new customer over several years and this contract win represents a successful collaboration between the MoD, the customer, Filtronic and PRFI, a leading UK-based technical design consultancy providing monolithic microwave integrated circuits services.

“It is yet another example of Filtronic’s ability to support the UK Defence Industry with a sovereign supply chain for advanced semiconductor packaging solutions that are optimised for both thermal and radio frequency (RF) performance.”
