Globecomm Systems Receives Contract Extension from NATO Valued at $9.1 Million for GPS-Based Force Tracking System

5 January 2009

Globecomm Systems Inc. has received a contract extension from NATO valued at $9.1 million to extend communication services and onsite support for the Company’s previously deployed GPS-Based Force Tracking System (FTS).

Globecomm previously announced approximately $35 million in contracts from NATO for this project to design and install a GPS FTS, bringing the combined contract value to approximately $44 million. The FTS provides NATO with high levels of tracking data and messaging traffic. It enables NATO to identify where its personnel are located at all times, identify other multi-national forces and have the ability to do so in routine and operational situations. This is critical in assisting with the identification of friendly forces and helps prevent fratricide or “blue-on-blue” incidents.

Paul Knudsen, Vice President of Globecomm’s Eastern Atlantic Team, said: “Globecomm’s relationship with NATO continues to expand. The extension of this contract demonstrates the importance of this vital service Globecomm is providing to this customer.”
