The Malibu Division of Communications & Power Industries, Inc. (CPI), a leading provider of microwave, radio frequency, power and control solutions for critical defense, communications, medical, scientific and other applications, has been awarded a $5.6 million contract for telemetry antenna systems. CPI is a subsidiary of CPI International, Inc.
The four-year, firm fixed-price contract was awarded by the U.S. Air Force, 96th Communication Group at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. CPI's Malibu Division has received approximately $1.7 million in initial funding for the 2008 activities under this contract.
CPI's Malibu Division will supply 5.0-meter and 7.3-meter telemetry antenna systems that utilize some existing antenna components from Eglin Air Force Base. The significantly upgraded systems will be configured with the Malibu Division's advanced Antenna Control Unit and fiber-optic control systems. Additionally, the radio frequency architecture will be enhanced to support iNET (Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry), modernizing some of Eglin Air Force Base's 30 year-old telemetry antenna systems to meet the future requirements of its test range.
In August 2007, CPI acquired Malibu Research Associates, Inc., a leader in the design, manufacture and integration of advanced antenna systems for radar, radar simulators and telemetry systems. Malibu Research Associates is now the Malibu Division of CPI
