COM DEV USA Awarded US Government Satellite Contract
EL SEGUNDO, CA, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — COM DEV USA, LLC, a subsidiary of COM DEV International Ltd. (TSX: CDV), today announced that it has been awarded a contract valued in excess of US$7 million to provide passive microwave equipment for a US Government space program. This contract covers work on the fourth spacecraft in a multiple-satellite constellation, and follows a contract announced last month relating to the third spacecraft in the same program. Design and production work will be performed at COM DEV USA’s manufacturing facility in El Segundo, California with delivery scheduled for the middle of fiscal 2011.
“In the past month we have announced over $20 million of new contract wins for work on three separate satellites,” said Dan White, President of COM DEV USA. “We begin our 2010 fiscal year with a very healthy backlog that should allow us to maintain the momentum we have established at our El Segundo facility. We achieved or exceeded all our major targets in 2009 and we are very excited about continuing to execute our growth strategy.”
