KVH Receives 5-year Sole-source Contract from U.S. Military

  
    
  
  
    
      KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) announced today that it has 
      received a sole-source contract from the U.S. Army Tank and Automotive 
      Command (TACOM) for the purchase of KVH’s 
      TACNAV® vehicle 
      navigation systems for use on U.S. Army combat vehicles. The contract is 
      potentially worth $11.5 million over five years.
    
    
      “This new sole-source contract is a 
      reaffirmation of the value TACNAV offers U.S. and allied warfighters 
      through its ability to consistently support applications in a wide range 
      of demanding military environments, including vehicle navigation, 
      integration with digital battlefield management systems, and precision 
      stabilization and pointing,” said Dan Conway, 
      vice president of business development for KVH Industries. “We 
      look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with TACOM as 
      well as the ongoing opportunity to ensure that U.S. servicemen and women 
      have the critical navigation and guidance capabilities necessary to 
      enable them to carry out their missions quickly and effectively, and 
      then come home safely.”
    
    
      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, 
      making 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, Marine Corps, and Navy as well as to many allied customers, among 
      them Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Australia, New 
      Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Switzerland, and Italy.
    
    
      Due to contractual restrictions, additional details regarding the 
      customer and vehicle platforms cannot be disclosed at this time.
