Comtech PST awarded $1.6m contract for high-power solid-state amplifiers
Comtech Telecommunications Corp says that in fiscal third-quarter 2021 its subsidiary Comtech PST Corp of Melville, NY, USA, which is part of Comtech’s Government Solutions segment, was awarded an additional $1.6m contract for RF microwave solid-state amplifiers from a major domestic prime contractor, adding to an initial $1.7m contract awarded earlier this fiscal year.
The very high-power solid-state amplifiers, which utilize gallium nitride (GaN) transistor technology, were developed in close cooperation with the prime contractor and are part of a complex RF microwave transmission system used by the US military.
“This additional order is another example of Comtech’s technical strength in delivering high-power solid-state transmitter solutions for military applications and the ongoing demand for our high-power solid-state amplifier products,” says Comtech Telecommunications’ chairman & CEO Fred Kornberg.
