US Air Force Selects Spectracom To Supply Time And Frequency Test Equipment
Spectracom, a business of the Orolia Group, announced recently it has been awarded a contract to supply the US Air Force Metrology Calibration Program (AFMETCAL) with precision timing and frequency test equipment over the next 5 years. Spectracom Frequency Calibrator/Analyzers will be used across several AFMETCAL projects to test and calibrate any device or system that relies on a precisely timed signal. Typical applications include radar, radio and communications, guidance systems, and avionics.
