Anticipates Follow-On Orders from Prime Contractor Supporting USAF

06:24 GMT, August 13, 2010 HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. | Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ:ORBT), a defense and industrial electronics manufacturer, systems integrator and software solution provider, today announced that its Power Group, Behlman Electronics, Inc. (“Behlman”), has received an order valued in excess of $530,000 for its COTS Division. This new award is for a power supply to be used on the RC-135, a U.S. Air Force (USAF) all-weather surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. Deliveries under this contract are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2010 and continue through the second quarter of 2011.

This is the first production order for this power supply for which Behlman had previously delivered several prototype and pre-production orders to its customer, a prime contractor to the USAF. Behlman anticipates additional production orders for these units as the USAF continues to upgrade this aircraft.

Mark Tublisky, President of Behlman commented, “We are pleased that after supplying prototype and pre-production units to this customer, the first production order has now been received. Behlman’s ability to modify its standard products to meet specific customer requirements has enabled our COTS division to attract the attention of a number of customers with program opportunities that require proven hardware solutions with time sensitive delivery schedules. Behlman’s COTS business model, which emphasizes flexible designs, individualized engineering support and superior customer service, has been the driving force behind these contract awards. This approach should enable Behlman to grow its COTS division supporting future business opportunities.”

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit International Corp. commented, “Behlman’s extensive experience in providing COTS power solutions has enabled the division to pursue a number of new market opportunities. In an effort to reduce the Federal Budget deficit by managing spending requirements, the U.S. Department of Defense has mandated an initiative to both reduce overall program development costs, while expediting the design timeline for new production program solutions. Behlman`s successful business plan for COTS power solutions specifically addresses these directives by significantly reducing design costs, while providing customers with qualified hardware that can support critical program time schedules. In addition to the increased COTS division business activity, Behlman’s commercial division continues to receive new orders; July was Behlman’s best month this year to date for new bookings. We remain confident that Behlman will continue to experience increased activity for its commercial products and is poised for a strong second half of 2010.”
