$3.3-Million Contract: Helionetics Inc. in Irvine said Monday that it received a contract from a “major government prime contractor” to manufacture power frequency converters, which allow standard medical and hospital equipment to be used on commercial aircraft in emergencies.
The design and development program, along with the initial production award, is worth $3.3 million, the company said. Earlier this year, Helionetics said it was working with Texas-based E-Systems Inc. on the converter project.
