Ultralife Batteries, through its McDowell Research unit, has been awarded a contract valued at approximately $9 million from a major U.S. defense contractor for the production and delivery of integration kits supporting military communications systems for installation on military vehicles. Deliveries are expected to begin this quarter and be completed in the second quarter of 2007.

The integration kits consist of a combination of McDowell's MIK-21-75 vehicle kit and its MRC-195 communication case. The MIK-21-75 is designed as a permanent installation on high mobility, multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV) while the MRC-195 is a transportable case system to allow for the movement of the system to areas of interest. The integration kits will enable the U.S. military to conduct secure broadband.
