Filtronic (LSE:FTC) has secured an $8 million follow-on contract with a US-based customer to design, develop and manufacture prototype millimetre-wave (mmWave) units intended for deployment on satellites.
The agreement expands an existing relationship that began with a smaller development contract awarded in June 2026.
The latest award is separate from an earlier $8 million order placed by the same customer for amplifier technology, bringing the combined value of the two disclosed orders to $16 million.
Under the new agreement, Filtronic will undertake the design, development and production of prototype mmWave units for satellite payload applications.
The company expects the contract to contribute revenue across the 2027 and 2028 financial years, extending its involvement in the customer’s satellite technology development programme.
Management said the follow-on award reflects the customer’s confidence in Filtronic’s radio frequency engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
The contract also aligns with Filtronic’s strategy of expanding its activities in satellite communications, one of the markets targeted for longer-term development alongside aerospace, defence and telecommunications infrastructure.
The additional work extends the company’s relationship with the US customer beyond its initial development programme and existing amplifier technology order.
Filtronic designs and manufactures high-frequency radio frequency components and systems used in satellite payloads, defence equipment and communications networks.
The AIM-listed company operates engineering and manufacturing facilities in the UK and supplies customers across international space, aerospace, defence and telecommunications markets.
