ADSI Offers Advanced Fire Suppression to US Marine Corps

• ADSI to Equip Crew Protection Kits With Cold Fire Tactical, a Military-Grade Fire Suppressant Under License From Firefreeze Worldwide

(Hicksville, NY., August 3, 2010) -- American Defense Systems, Inc. (ADSI) (NYSE Amex: EAG), a provider of advanced physical security products for Defense and Homeland Security, has introduced Cold Fire Tactical(TM), a new military-grade fire suppressant. The product is being sold under license from Firefreeze Worldwide, Inc., which provides ADSI exclusive rights to market the product to the United States Marine Corps.

The product is based on Firefreeze's Cold Fire(R) technology, a non-toxic and eco-friendly fire retardant and suppressant. ADSI engineers are developing dispersal systems to equip the company's armored Crew Protection Kits (CPKs) with Cold Fire Tactical, which will add an additional layer of protection for U.S. service men and women operating construction equipment in hostile environments.

"Cold Fire Tactical represents an ideal expansion of our current line of physical security products," said ADSI's chief executive officer, Anthony J. Piscitelli. "Our opaque and transparent armor solutions have for many years protected our military personnel from the destructive force of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Cold Fire Tactical now addresses the potentially devastating effects of fires caused by IEDs and other weapons."

Cold Fire is a unique, environmentally friendly wetting agent that breaks the chemical chain reaction of fire and cools 21 times faster than water. As compared to fire suppressing foams that merely smother the fire by eliminating oxygen, Cold Fire encapsulates the fuel source, preventing re-ignition and rapidly eliminates the heat. This means it can put out fire faster and safer, with less water, less damage to property, and less risk to those fighting the fire, and allows for immediate handling of burnt materials.

Cold Fire can extinguish any Class A or B fire, hydrocarbons or polar solvents, as well as metals, tires, asphalt and other ignited materials. It also suppresses vapors and helps to contain spills. The technology is approved by Underwriters Laboratory (UL).

Added Piscitelli: "Our Marines and other military service personal need a solution to prevent and mitigate the effects of fires caused by enemy attacks, and we are proud to offer this unique product that advances our mission of serving and protecting those who serve and protect us."
