RF Systems
Generates, amplifies, routes, and receives signals across mission links.
Trusted Connectivity When the Mission Depends on the Link
Maintain resilient links across tactical, distributed, and space networks.
Mission Overview
Keeping Mission Systems Connected Under Pressure
Mission success increasingly depends on moving more information between more platforms across contested and complex environments. Whether connecting spacecraft, aircraft, ships, ground systems or distributed sensors, communications must remain secure, resilient and reliable when conditions are least forgiving.
Frontgrade provides RF, microwave, processing and high-reliability electronics products supporting mission-critical communications from signal generation and amplification through processing and transmission.
Our portfolio includes RF and microwave components and subsystems, amplifiers, antennas, frequency and signal-management technologies, mission processing, high-reliability microelectronics and supporting electronics for demanding aerospace, defense and space applications.
As communications architectures become more distributed, customers must balance bandwidth, latency, SWaP, interoperability, resilience and production scale. Frontgrade's breadth allows engineering teams to address multiple parts of that electronics chain while reducing integration burden and supporting technology evolution.
Our technologies support communications across air, land, sea and space, including satellite communications, tactical communications and connectivity within distributed mission systems.
From processing information to moving it where it needs to go, Frontgrade delivers the electronics products that help keep mission systems connected.
