Frequency Electronics, Inc. announced its next generation Rubidium atomic clock successfully completed a Critical Design Review (CDR) by prime contractor Lockheed Martin Space for potential use on the U.S. Air Force’s GPS III Follow On (GPS IIIF) satellite program. The Digital Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard (DRAFS) clock is an evolution of previous generation Rubidium atomic clocks designed for space applications. The DRAFS clock leverages technology developed by FEI and currently in operation on several government satellites. The successful CDR allows the new DRAFS clock to move forward into fabrication and testing to verify performance.
Frequency Electronics, Inc. is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of precision timing, frequency generation and radio frequency control products for space and terrestrial applications. The Company operates through two segments: FEI-NY and FEI-Zyfer. FEI-NY segment provides precision time, frequency generation and synchronization products and subsystems that are found on-board satellites, in ground-based communication systems and imbedded in mobile platforms operated by the United States military. FEI-Zyfer designs, develops, and manufactures products which provide Precision Navigation and Timing (PNT), primarily incorporating Global Navigation Satellite System(s) technology. FEI-Zyfers products make use of both in-the-clear civil and crypto-secured military signals for global positioning systems (GPS). FEI-Zyfers products are integrated into radar systems, information networks, test equipment, military command and control terminals, and satellite ground stations.
