KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) has received an order valued at more than $3.7 million for its TACNAV® TLS tactical navigation system for use by an international customer. These TACNAV systems will be used to upgrade existing light armored vehicles already in the field. Shipment of this order is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2011.

Military forces fielding TACNAV include the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, as well as many allied customers, among them Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Switzerland, and Italy.
