Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications, said, "We are pleased to receive this contract award, and believe it further demonstrates the continued critical role our network technology plays in the Blue Force Tracking program. Interest in our mobile data communications technology remains strong within the Department of Defense's logistics and war fighter communities."
