With this exceptional quarter behind us, we are in an excellent position to capture the additional orders and opportunities available to us in the second half of this year and into the future. We have achieved this success by positioning Mikros as a provider of mission-readiness solutions for defense, security, and homeland defense markets. We have spent the past several years preparing for the increased focus on Operational Readiness being seen in the U.S. Navy and other defense agencies. We are confident that we have the talent, expertise, and products available to meet these developing requirements.”
The Company will soon begin to deliver 27 Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset (ADEPT) systems for use on U.S. Navy Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers. These systems represent the initial order placed under the Company’s $26 million contract, which was awarded this past March. Marc Dalby, Mikros VP Business Development and Operations, added: “We expect to receive new orders this year for additional ADEPT systems and engineering services. These new orders will help the Company develop and deliver ADEPT systems for use with other types of equipment and ships in the U.S. Navy. We remain committed to advancing the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) projects recently awarded, as well as submitting additional SBIR proposals this year that could result in future awards. We also see several emerging opportunities with our partners that could result in additional contract awards later this year.”
