The US Navy has awarded a follow-on contract to Orbit International’s Electronics Group for the delivery of additional human machine interface (HMI) applications.
The $2m order follows a similar award in December 2014 for a new HMI application.
Orbit International president and CEO Mitchell Binder said: "Exclusive of this follow-on award received in January, combined bookings for both our Electronics Group and Power Group exceeded $6m in the fourth quarter, after reaching that level in the third quarter as well.
"Almost all of these awards have the potential for additional follow-on contracts in future periods.
