Orbit International Corp. Receives Initial Award to Support Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft Program (MMA) in Excess of $850,000.

Production Options Could Exceed $6,000,000 for U.S. Naval Program Requirements

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ: ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and supplier, today announced that its Electronics Group has received an initial design and development award, in excess of $850,000, from a leading global defense and aerospace prime contractor for a 12.1 inch color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in support of the U.S. Navy's new Multi-Mission Maritime Program (MMA) Aircraft. This Multi-Mission Maritime P-8A Aircraft will significantly increase the Navy's reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities. Design and development units are expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2007, followed by shipments of hardware, software and qualification units running through the first quarter of 2008.

Once Limited Rate Initial Production Aircraft is qualified for initial flight service missions, the P-8A Aircraft will play a key role in the U.S. Navy's Sea Power 21st century Sea Shield concept doctrine, providing anti-submarine, anti-ship and anti-smuggling platforms that can sweep large areas, launch sensors or weapons as necessary, and remain aloft for an extended period of time. Chief of Naval Operations Vern Clark publicly endorsed the need for this anti-submarine warfare aircraft, stating "that the MMA will transform the Maritime Patrol/Reconnaissance force by fully integrating manned and unmanned vehicles with latest state-of-the-art airborne technology."

By fully funding this MMA Aircraft program, the Navy will have the ability to slowly replace the P-3C Orion fleet of aircraft, which is approaching the end of its flight service. The new aircraft will incorporate military intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and state-of-the-art weapons systems that will provide Navy pilots with unparalleled flexibility and capabilities.

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit International, commented, "This latest award is significant for our entire Electronics Group, in that we were selected to participate with an elite team of prime contractors. Working directly with the MMA Prime Defense and Aerospace Contractor Team is an opportunity to demonstrate our design and production capabilities in Human Machine Interface keyboards, trackballs, and LED displays for various upcoming airborne programs. Within our defense electronics niche market, our Electronics Group is continuing to provide retrofit hardware for the current P-3C Orion upgrade programs, and will continue to provide support for this aircraft until the initial P-8A fleet is available for U.S. Naval combat missions. We have either currently received, or expect to receive, orders under this retrofit program for the P-3C Orion, totaling approximately $250,000."

Sunshine added, "Once the design, development and qualification phases for the P-8A MMA aircraft are complete, the U.S. Navy intends to replace all of the current P-3C aircraft in service and actively pursue Foreign Military Sales program opportunities. Given that our 12.1 inch color LCD display is located in the Weapons Bay portion of the aircraft, this program offers a significant base of display business that should increase as the program matures over many years. Based on the information we have received concerning U.S. Navy requirements, we estimate our potential revenue to be approximately $6,000,000 over the life of the program."
