Ann Arbor, Michigan – November 12, 2009 – FAAC Incorporated, part of Arotech Corporation’s (NasdaqGM: ARTX) Training and Simulation Division, has received an award valued at $10.3M from the California Department of General Services (DGS) to supply Law Enforcement Driving Simulators to the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards & Training (CA POST).  FAAC will provide 108 high-fidelity driving simulators to be installed at 24 training centers across the state, including seven mobile training trailers.

The purchase of the FAAC driving simulators by CA POST was motivated by two important factors: 1) the escalating incidence of law enforcement officers killed or injured in traffic collisions both within California and nationally; and 2) findings from CA POST’s recently completed Driver Training Study, Volume 1 2008 (www.post.ca.gov/Publications/Driver_Training_Study).  The study examined causes of traffic collisions and interventions to reduce occurrences.  Notably, the study found that training with driving simulators is positively associated with a reduction in traffic collision rates.  As a result, the POST Commission (www.post.ca.gov/About_Us/Commissioners.asp) unanimously supported the acquisition.

After a competitive procurement, that included a thorough product demonstration with a detailed scoring and evaluation process, DGS and CA POST selected FAAC based upon it receiving the highest technical score, its positive past performance reviews, and it representing the overall best value to the State of California.

“We are pleased to have been chosen and look forward to supporting CA POST in revolutionizing their law enforcement training program,” said David Bouwkamp, FAAC Executive Director of Business Development.  “This decision to base the entire state’s training program upon a consistent and standardized simulator will result in incredible synergy among CA POST instructors and improve the driving skills of law enforcement personnel from San Diego all the way to Yreka.”

“This CA POST award validates, on a large-scale, our approach to provide the right fidelity solution as the best value solution for our customers,” said Kurt Flosky, FAAC Executive Vice President. “We remain diligently focused on providing simulator configurations that meet essential training objectives, be it the use of real mirrors for transit customers or our immersive 225° field-of-view for
Public Safety applications – our simulators are purpose-built to maximize training benefits.”
