ORBIT Awarded UAV Tracking and Communication System Contract Valued at $3.1 Million

ORBIT Communication Systems, Ltd., a satellite communications, tracking, and airborne communications-management systems provider, has been awarded a contract valued at $3.1 Million for the supply of multiple ship borne Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) tracking and communications systems to an undisclosed customer.

The advanced tracking and communications systems are designed to be operated on platforms at sea. Compensating for the constant motion of the marine platforms, the stabilized systems deliver precise tracking of the UAV and will be utilized for communications, command, control and intelligence provided by the UAVs in maritime environments.
