Cobham receives $157.5m in missile electronics orders

Cobham recently received a series of orders from a leading missile manufacturer for electronic components for several missile programs totaling $157.5m.

The work will be performed by Cobham Microelectronic Solutions, a business unit of the Cobham Advanced Electronics Solutions sector.

Cobham is a key supplier of radio frequency (RF) electronics that enable a missile's guidance and processing. Cobham hardware spans RF converters, synthesizers, and transmitters, otherwise known as Integrated Microwave Assemblies (IMAs). The building blocks of these IMAs are based on Cobham's innovative intellectual property for mixers, filters, and custom Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs). Cobham's world class RF production facility is enabled through assembly, inspection, and test automation processes that drive Cobham's electronics to a very high level of reliability.
