[Satellite TODAY 07-21-10] Comtech Mobile Datacom expects the U.S. Army’s multi-year Blue Force Tracking 2 (BFT2) contract, valued at more than $200 million, to be awarded by the end of July, Comtech’s Blue Force Tracking Program Manager Richard Leach told Satellite News.
    Raymond James analyst Chris Quilty told Satellite News he has been convinced for the past two years that Comtech would be the sole-sourced BFT-2 winner due to the Army’s current network structure and the demand for Comtech’s products.
    When combined with existing BFT/MTS contract vehicles, Blue Force Tracking could generate more than $1 billion in revenue for Comtech by the end of 2010.
