Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM), a leading communications solutions provider, announced today that the Company has received a contract from NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) valued at $8.8 million to upgrade the Company?s previously deployed GPS-Based Force tracking System (FTS) to handle additional capacity and add additional features.
?
?
Globecomm previously announced approximately $65.8 million in contracts from NATO for this project to design and install a GPS FTS, bringing the combined contract value to approximately $74.6 million. The FTS provides NATO with high levels of tracking data and messaging traffic. It enables NATO to identify where its personnel are located at all times, identify other multi-national forces and have the ability to do so in routine and operational situations. This is critical in assisting with the identification of friendly forces and helps prevent fratricide or ?blue-on-blue? incidents.

Paul Knudsen, Vice President of Globecomm?s Eastern Atlantic Team, said: ?Globecomm is pleased to receive this contract extension. Our system and people on the ground continue to provide a vital service to NATO. We look forward to continuing to support NATO to enhance the safety of the troops in theater.?
