Frontgrade pioneers the future and underpins many of the world’s most critical missions. Our radhard microelectronics empower the world’s leading spacecraft: from leading high throughput commercial communications satellites, earth observation satellites, and manned space, to high priority national security missions, deep space exploration to Mars and beyond, and the latest new space constellations. Our RF transmission and antenna solutions enable space signal transmission, search & surveillance, satellite communications, missile defence radars, missile seekers, electronic warfare systems that keep warfighters safe, and civil aviation radars that ensure the safety of the flying public. Our highly complex motion control products enable satellite solar panel actuation, Mars Rover actuation, and optical steering. Our power management solutions convert and distribute power in the harshest of environments. In addition, our high reliability microelectronics enable genome sequencers and CT scanners that health care professionals use to improve people’s health.

As our new name suggests, we are on the frontlines of both technology and with the forces that protect our nation. Our products set the high-grade standard for quality that mission critical programs need in order to achieve success. We hold our customer service to the same quality standards, making sure that we work with our partners to meet their exacting requirements.
