Orbit International Receives a Follow-on Award in Excess of $980,000 to Support the FAA Automated Radar Terminal System.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Orbit International Corp. (Nasdaq:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and supplier, today announced that its Electronics Group has received orders valued in excess of $980,000 from a leading electronics prime contractor for its Human-Man Interface (HMI) trackball in support of the Federal Aviation Administration's Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS-III-E). Deliveries under this contract are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2007 and continue at an accelerated rate through year-end.

The original ARTS I FAA program requirement was also designed and installed by this prime contractor in 1964 at Atlanta's air traffic facility, and at that time, set the standard as the newest and most advanced commercial airport radar air traffic control system. Since then, Orbit's Electronics Group has delivered in excess of 2000 HMI devices, supporting approximately 150 small-to-medium-sized as well a up to five large Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities. Orbit has been informed that the current HMI order will support the ARTS III-E program requirements in Dallas/Fort Worth, New York City, Chicago, Southern California and Denver TRACON facilities.

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit International Corp., commented, "Since the inception of the ARTS program in 1964, our Electronics Group has reconfigured the HMI device several times, keeping pace with technology advancements over the life of the program. It is gratifying that the latest ARTS award is from the same prime contractor who, more than forty years ago, backed its confidence in our engineering and manufacturing capabilities, with the initial award. In the ensuing years, as a small business subcontractor on the ARTS program, we have justified our customer's confidence who continues to rely on us as their HMI device supplier."

Mr. Sunshine added, "This ARTS program provides the customer with state-of-the-art COTS HMI hardware, and should remain as a critical air traffic system until the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) system is gradually implemented in the future. Our Electronics Group has already embedded an advanced HMI trackball, as well as several configurations of its console keyboard to support the prime contractor for the STARS technology replacement program requirement."

In conclusion, Mr. Sunshine noted, "Next year our Company will be celebrating its 50th year of designing, developing, qualifying and supporting critical defense electronic and ruggedized non-military program requirements."
