Business Wire
Frequency Electronics, Inc. (AMEX - FEI) has been awarded a
follow-on contract for a time and frequency system to be deployed
on a secure communication satellite program. This program is the
successor system to a similar major long-term military program for
which FEI provided master clocks on many satellites over a
multi-year period. During the past three years, FEI developed and
manufactured initial flight hardware for the first phase of the
current secure communication program. This latest contract calls
for the Company to build an ultra-low phase noise clock system
along with synthesizer and distribution subsystems. The contract
amount is in excess of $3 million and is to be delivered in less
than two years. Commenting on this award, President and CEO Martin
Bloch said: "Our participation in this important military program
acknowledges FEI's ability to provide state-of-the-art, very low
phase noise clock and synthesizer systems. Additionally, it
demonstrates FEI's capacity to supply not only master clocks but
much larger portions of satellite payloads." About Frequency
