NEWARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI - News) has received an order valued at approximately $20 million for its SATCOM-On-The-Move systems from a U.S. defense contractor under its Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for use in a variety of military vehicles unrelated to the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program. The company received an additional order valued at approximately $2 million for its SATCOM-On-The-Move systems directly from the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), which was shipped in the third quarter.

Our SATCOM systems will be installed in a variety of existing vehicles, such as HUMVEEs and MRAPs,” said John D. Kavazanjian, president and chief executive officer. “We are pleased that our battle-tested SATCOM systems combined with our proven ability to meet customer requirements continue to gain recognition for being one of the preferred choices for critical defense communications applications.
