KVH Industries, Inc. [Nasdaq: KVHI] has received two orders from a U.S. defense contractor for the purchase of components and upgrades for KVH’s TACNAV vehicle navigation systems for use on U.S. military combat vehicles. The two orders, with a total value of approximately $1.4 million, are scheduled to start shipping in the first quarter of 2008. KVH’s TACNAV military vehicle navigation systems provide unjammable, precision navigation, heading, and pointing data for vehicle drivers, crews, and commanders. TACNAV can also serve as a link between each vehicle and the overall digital battlefield. This makes each unit a node in a secure military network that consolidates a wide range of tactical data to provide detailed information to individual units and military commanders. TACNAV systems are currently in use on U.S. and allied vehicles participating in ongoing operations in Iraq and elsewhere. Military forces fielding TACNAV include the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, as well as many allied customers. Due to contractual restrictions, additional details regarding the customers and vehicle platforms cannot be disclosed at this time—Middletown, Rhode Island
