Cobham is expected to supply 1000 complex power amplifier, beamformer and receive amplifier modules for the phased array antennas that allow WGS satellite transmission and reception.
The contract includes options for three additional sets.
Jill Kale, vice president of Cobham Defence Electronics, said that Cobham is pleased to support the critical program which enhances military satellite communications by providing the portfolio of RF modules that support additional bandwidth required by the military.
