With the contract seen as a step-up in the development of atomic clocks, it’s not surprising we’ve seen such a sharp rally in premarket support. With high-end sectors relying on increasing levels of accuracy and efficiency, the team at Frequency Electronics is more than thankful for the innovative opportunity.
“We could not be more pleased to have received this contract award. The POPRAFS technology is a game changer for atomic clocks and will result in a significant improvement in capability over currently available products,” said Stan Sloane, Frequency’s CEO.
The contract value came at a welcomed total of $17.75M with a base period of performance of two years.
