Hauppauge, New York, March 25, 2013— Behlman Electronics Inc., known for its leadership in providing military, industrial, and commercial power products for shipboard, airborne, and mobile applications, has received an additional order for a quantity of its Model 00389 COTS Power Supplies for the U.S. Navy’s airborne anti-submarine and anti-ship surveillance and targeting systems.
The current add-on order marks the continuation of a program started more than twelve years ago to ensure that certain U.S. Navy airborne missions had the full support of Behlman Electronics.
