EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel”, or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT:TIK) today announced the receipt of a $1.3 million order from the U.S. Army for CRAFT 708 units with delivery scheduled for the second calendar quarter of 2016. The Company also announced that it recently received an order from the U.S. Navy for four CRAFT 708 test sets for the U.S. Presidential Helicopter program.

The Company also introduced the new T-47M5 test set at the DOD AIMS meeting in Orlando held during the week of May 2, 2016. This test set will allow our existing customers to upgrade their Mode 4 IFF test sets to handle Mode 5. Deliveries are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of this calendar year after planned product testing is completed.

Jeffrey C. O’Hara, the Company’s President and CEO, stated “Our CRAFT 708 continues to be well received in the marketplace. The U.S. Army Special Forces order represents the first significant penetration of this test set into the U.S. Army. Furthermore, the selection of our product to help protect the helicopter fleet of the President of the United States reflects the trust that customers put in the quality and reliability of our testing solutions. We continue to innovate and evolve our product line, and we expect that the new T-47M5 test set should be well received as it will allow our large installed domestic and international customer base to upgrade these units in the field in a cost-effective fashion.”
