(NASDAQ:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and software solution provider, today announced that its Power Group, through its Behlman Electronics, Inc. subsidiary (aBehlmana) has received two new orders with a combined value of $474,000 from the same customer.

Behlman received a $269,000 follow-on order for a commercial off-the-shelf (aCOTSa) power supply used in a shipboard-based satellite communications system. This is Behlmana™s third production order for this unit and additional orders are anticipated in 2011 and beyond for this on-going program.
