ORBIT will provide maintenance, repair and support services for its Airborne Digitally-Controlled Audio System (ADAS) installed on the USAF's KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft. The service contract is valued at $1,700,000 over a period of 18 months. The service contract will enable the USAF to ensure the continued high performance of their digital Communications Management Systems.
ORBIT’s ADAS systems continue to provide the high performance, quality and reliability required by the USAF from their Communication Management Systems (CMS). Extending the operational lifetime of the KC-135 tankers required the extension of the service period related to these systems. The new agreement guarantees rapid and fixed turnaround time for servicing the CMS and by that assists the USAF to maintain the operational readiness of the KC-135 tankers.
According to Erez Shabirow, ORBIT’s CEO: "ORBIT is committed to provide the USAF with maintenance services for our Communication Management Systems for as long as needed to meet the operational needs of their KC-135 fleet. Audio and intercommunication management systems are mission-critical for our military customers, and we take pride in delivering high-quality and responsive service and support for our installed systems".
