The satcom division of Communications & Power Industries has received an order for its SuperLinear high-power amplifiers for a shipboard satellite communications programme, the company announced on 19 January.
Under the follow-on contract, valued over $4.5 million, the company will provide high-power, X-band traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) and related products for an unspecified military communications programme.
Andy Tafler, president, CPI satcom division, said: ‘CPI's X-band satcom amplifiers continue to be selected for this programme due to our proven ability to meet the US military's stringent product requirements for long life and high reliability. Our innovative and compact high-power SuperLinear amplifiers are extremely efficient, reliable and capable of operating in adverse environmental conditions, including shipboard environments.’
