EL SEGUNDO, CA, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ - COM DEV USA, LLC, a subsidiary of COM DEV International Ltd. (TSX: CDV), today announced that it has been awarded a contract valued in excess of US$6 million to provide UHF passive microwave equipment for a satellite payload. The equipment will be similar to that which COM DEV USA is supplying under a previous contract awarded by the same customer in 2009.  Design and production work will be performed at COM DEV USA's manufacturing facility in El Segundo, California with delivery scheduled by the end of calendar 2011.
