KVH Receives $1.1 Million Order for Fiber Optic Gyros for U.S. Military Simulators

  
    
  
  
    
      KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) announced today that it has 
      received a $1.1 million order for its DSP-3000 fiber optic gyros (FOGs) 
      from a U.S. military customer. KVH’s compact, 
      highly accurate FOGs will be used for real-time image synchronization 
      and stabilization in military training simulator systems. Shipments for 
      this order are expected to be completed in the near-term.
    
    
      “Our DSP-3000 FOGs, with their precise and 
      instant measurement of platform motion, are an excellent and affordable 
      solution for visual synchronization in simulators and training systems,” 
      explained Jay Napoli, KVH’s director of fiber 
      optic sales. “KVH FOGs allow the simulator’s 
      virtual image to correspond exactly to a soldier’s 
      motion by measuring even the slightest movement and relaying this data 
      to the simulator’s computer, thereby helping 
      to create a highly realistic experience for trainees. In addition, the 
      DSP-3000’s versatility and 
      commercial-off-the-shelf design allow us to meet both our customers’ 
      urgent and longer-term needs with equal ease.”
    
    
      With their all-fiber design and patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) 
      technology, KVH’s DSP-3000 FOGs offer high 
      reliability, superior accuracy and performance, and exceptional 
      vibration, shock, and acceleration survivability at an affordable cost. 
      KVH’s fiber optic guidance and sensor systems 
      are used in an array of commercial and defense-related stabilization, 
      navigation, autonomous vehicle, and precision guidance applications. For 
      example, two KVH DSP-3000 FOGs are installed in each of the U.S. Army’s 
      new Common Remotely Operated Weapon Stations (CROWS) systems, providing 
      precise stabilization and weapon recoil control, as well as ensuring 
      that the weapon maintains its aim on the target. In addition, KVH’s 
      TG-6000 FOG-based inertial measurement unit serves as a key component in 
      the guidance system of the U.S. Navy’s MK54 
      lightweight torpedo.
    
    
      Due to contractual restrictions, additional details regarding the 
      customer and the intended application cannot be disclosed at this time.
