The company has received a series of orders worth tens of millions of dollars for radio frequency (RF) microelectronics that support the F-35 program. The work will be performed by the San Diego, California location of Cobham Microelectronic Solutions, part of Cobham Advanced Electronics Solutions.
“Our portfolio of microelectronic components and assemblies enable electronic warfare (EW) and radar system sensitivity, helping pilots achieve mission success by maintaining situational awareness and staying safe,” said Jill Kale, president of Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions.
More than 100 Cobham components are on board each F-35 Lightning II, including microelectronic components, microwave systems, motion control solutions for the Electro-optical Targeting System (EOTS) gimbal, communications chips, pilot survival products and aerial refueling equipment.
