West Caldwell - Feb 11, 2004
Merrimac Industries, Inc. has announced that it received an order valued at $1.1 million from Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, Seal Beach, California, to supply Beamforming Networks, and RF/ Microwave signal processing components on Boeing's GPS (Global Positioning System) IIF Satellites.

Boeing exercised its first contract option for Merrimac to provide additional signal processing components on Space Vehicles 4, 5, and 6. This latest order is part of the contract from Boeing estimated to reach $4.4 million that Merrimac announced on September 3, 2003.

Designed for flexibility and growth, the IIF satellites will provide new capabilities, including improved anti-jam, increased accuracy, higher integrity and critical secure Operational Military codes.

Chairman and CEO Mason N. Carter commented, "We are continuing to work very closely with Boeing as our long term relationship continues on this critical defense satellite program. As a valued member of the Boeing GPS IIF team, we are also looking forward to further supporting Boeing on the assembly of the remaining satellites that are expected to be completed over the next few years."
