Filtronic plc (LON:FTC), the designer and manufacturer of advanced RF solutions for the space, aerospace and defence, and telecoms infrastructure markets, has announced that it has received an Authorisation to Proceed (ATP) for approximately £7m, from a major European defence prime, for the supply of high-performance active components for the next phase of a long-standing electronic sensor programme for a defence project.
The ATP authorises Filtronic to commence work on the project, ahead of purchase order conversion in Q1 2026. The total value of the contract is expected to be £11m, for a two-year programme. Production will take place at Filtronic’s new secure, automated microelectronics facility in Sedgefield, supporting efficient, high-volume manufacture of complex RF modules for mission-critical defence applications.
Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer, said: “This latest win deepens our engagement with a key European defence customer and strengthens Filtronic’s position in the defence sector, a growing market for the Group. As we invest in capability and capacity, Filtronic is increasingly well positioned to support long-term demand for advanced RF solutions in the defence market.”
