Digital Angel Corporation (Amex:DOC), an advanced technology
company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location
tracking and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced
today that its UK subsidiary, Signature Industries Ltd, has been
awarded a $1.7 million order by the Royal Air Force of Oman to provide
SARBE G2R Combat Recovery Radios to Omani Jet Fighter Pilots. Delivery
of the radios will occur in the second half of 2007.
Digital Angel President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath
said, "We are honored that the Royal Air Force of Oman has chosen our
SARBE G2R Combat Survival Radio, which further reinforces our SARBE
unit's capabilities as a world leader in the supply of
state-of-the-art military combat survival radios."
"Our recent successes in winning two U.S. Air Force development
contracts (valued at $1 million) and a Swedish Air Force order (valued
at $1.5 million), clearly demonstrate, we believe, that our investment
over the past four years in the early development of next generation
406Mhz survival radios positions us to provide customers with a
first-class military rescue radio to replace the obsolete 121.5Mhz
radios resulting from the satellite change," continued McGrath.
Satellite radios that operate on 121.5 and 243Mhz frequencies will
be rendered obsolete when the Cospas-Sarsat satellite rescue system is
changed to monitor only 406MHz radio frequency in 2009. Cospas-Sarsat
is the international satellite system operator that detects activated
search and rescue beacons and approves all rescue beacon systems.
