transmise le 16 novembre 2009 par Business Wire

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp is pleased to announce the receipt of a $2.35 million delivery order from the Navy on November 12, 2009 for 99 CRAFT pilot production units. This order includes 79 AN/APM-719 (“Mode 5 IFF) test sets and 20 AN/APM-708 (CRAFT full function) test sets. It is expected that shipments of the AN/APM-719 will begin late this quarter and that the order will be completed in the current fiscal year. Jeff O'Hara, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, said, "this Navy order is extremely important as it helps fill the production hole resulting from several delayed government orders, and should allow the Company to return to profitable operations in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. The AN/APM-708 is a critical product for the Company as the Navy Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contract includes up to 750 of these units and the commencement of production shipments in calendar year 2010 would form a strong revenue base for the Company for years to come. We have begun building AN/APM-708 pilot production units and have scheduled the Navy Test Readiness Review (“TRR”) for the CRAFT AN/APM-708 program in January 2010. A successful TRR and design verification testing (“DVT”) for this test set represent key milestones for the Company and will represent the culmination of a several year and multi-million dollar engineering effort. This product also has significant upside potential for other military customers and significant orders are expected in the next 12 months.”
