(NYSE American:CVU), a defense contractor with a market capitalization of $33.1 million, has secured multiple purchase orders totaling $10.2 million under a previously announced contract with the U.S. Air Force, the company said Monday. According to InvestingPro data, these orders represent about 14% of the company’s trailing twelve-month revenue of $71.77 million.
