Air National Guard contracts Arotech’s FAAC Subsidiary to January 14, 2008 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqGM: ARTX) announced today that its Training and Simulation Division's FAAC subsidiary, has recently received a $780K contract from the Air Force. The contract calls for FAAC to replace the existing launch envelope software currently on-board the F-16C Block 30 with its celebrated Zone Acquisition Process (ZAP) software currently prominent on the USAF F-15 and F/A-18 fleets. FAAC’s Zone Acquisition Process software has been providing F-15 Eagle pilots missile launch envelope information since the early 1990’s. FAAC is also under contract to provide its ZAP software to the Joint Strike Fighter and USAF F-16C Block 50. ZAP provides pre-launch and post-launch information to assist the pilot in evaluating their weapon’s capability against threats, utilizing incredibly fast missile simulations that are highly responsive to the dynamic air combat arena. ZAP has been thoroughly evaluated by the operational test community for over a decade, who lauded its increase in accuracy and responsiveness to target maneuver. Further, ZAP has been battle tested in all air-to-air combat operations since 1996. With test validation and multiple engagements under its belt, ZAP represents a significant technological advantage for our warfighters. “This software upgrade will bring us up to speed with the rest of USAF fighter community,” says Lieutenant Colonel Bill ‘Tree’ Hargrove, an Instructor Pilot in the 107th Fighter Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard. “Presently, we have to use rules of thumb to make up for limitations in our current software. ZAP will provide us accurate launch cues that are common to the Eagle (F-15) and Hornet (F/A-18) and better response to target maneuvers. With ZAP on-board the Air National Guard F-16C Block 30 has increased its platform effectiveness to carry out our mission.” Arotech’s Training and Simulation Division consists of FAAC Incorporated and IES Interactive Training Inc.
