BLOOMFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2015-- Kaman Corp. (NYSE:KAMN) announced today that its Aerospace segment has been awarded several commercial sale purchase orders for the procurement of Joint Programmable Fuzes (JPF) totaling $68 million. The fuzes are expected to be delivered in 2015 and 2016.
"The reliability and functionality of the JPF cause it to remain in high demand with nations around the world. These orders solidify the program for the balance of this year, and with a program backlog that now exceeds $200 million, provide visibility well into 2017," stated Greg Steiner, President, Kaman Aerospace Group.
