Business Wire, August 23, 2006

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ: ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and supplier today announced it has received a Long Term Agreement (LTA) firm fixed price contract from a leading defense prime contractor for its Digital Interrogator (DDI) unit. This latest order of DDI units will support additional shipboard, stationary and mobile ground systems requirements. Orbit's Identification Friend/Foe (IFF) display is embedded in the AN/UPX-37 console, currently in service for U.S. and foreign military program requirements.

This is Orbit's third LTA order for DDI units, bringing the total number of DDIs for ongoing program requirements to more than 970 units. The latest LTA provides for the purchase of 200 units, with production requirements continuing through 2008. The Company expects initial orders under this LTA to be released in September 2006 and thereafter, on a timely basis, so that production will not be interrupted. The Company anticipates the total contract value of this award to approximate $1,000,000.

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit International, commented, "The current DDI configuration includes a state-of-the-art Electro-Luminescent (EL) display, with an array of operator-controlled switch buttons. This forms a critical IFF system that is currently used in all-weather hostile battlefield conditions. The IFF system enables friendly forces operating under battlefield conditions to distinguish friendly platforms from potential hostile targets in real time. The DDI display information provides battlefield operators with critical lead time to counter an attack, or prevent inadvertent fire between friendly and/or coalition forces."

Sunshine continued, "Working closely with our customer, we have developed a low cost, reliable solution that provides accurate battlefield information to support and enhance the DDI functionality for shipboard and ground based applications. We believe our DDI unit has the capability to support foreign military program opportunities, that require IFF hardware with the latest state-of-the-art technology."

Sunshine concluded, "As previously announced, the Company has experienced delays in receiving orders from its customers due to program funding issues. However, we remain confident that follow-on orders on existing programs should be forthcoming although timing remains uncertain."
