Mission Area

Mission-Ready Electronics from Launch Through Operations

Sustain compute, connectivity, power, and motion in harsh environments.

Mission Overview

Mission Electronics Built for Resilience and Scale

Space architecture is changing. Increasingly distributed and proliferated systems are creating new demands for processing, connectivity, resilience, production scale and technology while the space environment continues to leave little margin for failure.

Frontgrade provides mission-critical space electronics products spanning radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant microelectronics, mission processing, RF and microwave systems, communications, power and precision motion control.

Our technologies help spacecraft sense, process, communicate, position and act, supporting missions from launch vehicles and satellites to exploration, missile warning and tracking, communications and other national-security applications.

Frontgrade brings more than four decades of space heritage, with technologies supporting missions where reliability is fundamental. That heritage is increasingly paired with a new requirement: scale. As customers move from individual spacecraft toward distributed architecture and production tranches, electronics must be not only resilient but repeatable, producible and capable of evolving between generations.

Our breadth allows customers to address multiple electronics requirements across a spacecraft while balancing radiation performance, SWaP, processing, connectivity, integration and lifecycle considerations.

From trusted heritage to proliferated space, Frontgrade provides the electronics backbone behind systems built to perform beyond Earth.
