Giga-tronics Inc. announced that it has received three orders valued at $5.1 M for microwave components from a major aircraft manufacturer. The award for high performance specialty filters based upon the company’s fast switching YIG technology will be fulfilled by Giga-tronics’ Microsource component subsidiary located in Santa Rosa, CA. John Regazzi, CEO of Giga-tronics, said, “These orders are particularly significant not only because they represent continued confidence in us as a valued supplier on their current program, they also mark the beginning of our support on a second major aircraft platform with potential for large ongoing future business.” One order valued at $1.8 M will be delivered by the end of the fiscal year, in March 2010.
