Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI) commented on the M-ATV SATCOM-On-The-Move System (SOTM) order status. In response to a program status requested by an elected representative on the company’s behalf, management has been informed that the U.S. Defense Department had intended to place orders for the company’s SOTM systems through the company’s defense contractor customer. However, since there was only one contract in place in time to meet the delivery schedule for SOTM systems under the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program, orders are being placed with a defense contractor other than the company’s customer. Ultralife does not have information through any official government posting to confirm details of orders for SOTM systems under the M-ATV program.

Additionally, Ultralife had been shipping SATCOM system cables to the vehicle prime contractor for the M-ATV program for installation during vehicle assembly. Management has been notified by the vehicle prime contractor that it will not be placing additional orders for cables related to the M-ATV program.

Separately, Ultralife is announcing today that it has received an order for SOTM systems unrelated to the M-ATV program valued at approximately $20 million.
