Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (CMTL - Free Report) recently announced that its Mission-Critical Technologies group, which is part of its Government Solutions segment, has secured a contract with $98.6 million ceiling, during its first-quarter fiscal 2020.
Markedly, the company’s Mission-Critical Technologies group is known to be a leading provider of highly-mobile C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) solutions. Comtech sells products to a diverse customer base in the global commercial and government communications markets. The deal underscores U.S. Army’s trust in the company to support warfighters.
The company aims to provide global field support services for military satellite communication terminals worldwide. The contract has been initially funded at $22.2 million with additional funding likely across the performance period, which is expected from award through 12 months. Federal government agencies depend on Comtech’s cyber security expertise, professional consulting services and highly secure deployable satellite solutions for mission-critical communications.

The company topped earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering average positive surprise of 239.2%.
Backed by healthy business momentum including strong backlog, Comtech’s shares have added 28.5% compared with the industry’s growth of 17.3% year to date.
