FAAC Incorporated subsidiary supplies deploying Marines with Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicle Operator Training … Ahead of Schedule

Ann Arbor, Michigan – June 12, 2008 — FAAC Incorporated, a subsidiary of Arotech Corporation’s (NasdaqGM: ARTX) Training and Simulation Division, has completed fielding MRAP training capability to the USMC Operator Driving Simulators (ODS) for use by the Marine Corps’ stateside active components ahead of schedule. In December 2007, the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command, Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS) modified FAAC’s USMC ODS contract to add MRAP vehicle operator training capability. The MRAP capability was delivered to 29 Palms CA on 25FEB2008, Camp Pendleton CA on 04FEB2008, and Camp Lejeune NC on 13MAR2008. Each location has single and dual simulator trailers capable of training MRAP Cougar Cat I, MK-23 (with and without Armor kit), and up-armored HMMWV operations.

FAAC began work on MRAP training capabilities prior to December 2007 in anticipation of this urgent training need. FAAC was able – both with pre-award internal research & development and extraordinary post-award effort – to work diligently to field the MRAP training capability as soon as possible. In partnership with PMTRASYS, FAAC’s effort included delivery of a dual simulator trailer to 29 Palms seven weeks ahead of schedule. Delivery of simulators and MRAP capabilities is continuing to the Marine Force Reserve and other active elements as part of FAAC’s ongoing contract with PMTRASYS.

“In light of the pressing need to maximize the number of vehicles in theater, these simulators provide the Marine Corps with an effective solution to train MRAP vehicle operators” stated Kurt Flosky, FAAC Executive Vice-President.  “FAAC will continue to invest our research and development funds in support of programs critical to training our service men and women,” concluded Flosky.
