Orbit Communications Systems, a provider of precision tracking-based communications solutions and airborne communications management systems, announced that an Asian Ministry of Defense ordered an aeronautical telemetry system for approximately $5 million.
The turnkey solution – including a 5-meter S-band antenna and full ground station with total data chain capabilities – will be used for test range applications. Delivery of the high-precision system is expected in 2019.
"This order follows on the heels of a similar one from April of this year, for a 1.8-meter S-band system, from the same customer," said Eitan Livneh, Orbit's CEO. "Repeat deals such as these validate our value proposition in the market."
Orbit's aeronautical telemetry solutions are used in defense and civilian applications, such as flight testing, space exploration, and rocketry, to enable real-time monitoring of environmental conditions in flying objects.
